Scouts is for boys and girls aged 10.5 - 14. We have four Scout Groups, Mondays 6.45 - 8.45, Tuesdays 7.00 - 9.00, Thursdays 7.00 - 9.00 and Fridays 7.30 - 9.30.
Scouts enjoy loads of activities especially their time spent away... On top of a packed week-to-week programme, in recent times Scouts have had opportunities to enjoy:
Summer Camp is the highlight of the year for Scouts. Camping in a farmer's field, Scouts cook their own food on open fires, live in tents and take part in a wide range of activities such as windsurfing and fishing. The Leaders do their very best to keep the cost of Scouts as low as possible. Subs are paid quarterly. The current subscription rate is £34 per term. |

KAYAKING!In Summer, we take Cubs and Scouts kayaking on the River Don.
To make sure that sessions are safe as well as fun, we take groups of around 8 youngsters. We can't take everyone, so we invite youngsters to attend who have impressed due to their attitude, behaviour and conduct. Kids come who deserve it most! It's great fun, from kayak dodgeball to descending the rapids with older Scouts. If you can't make it for any reason, short time scales make it difficult to invite another youngster. In this situation, we take a smaller group. We take the power of the water seriously. If the river water level is too high, we may postpone at short notice. This is for our children's safety and enjoyment.  |

Financial Hardship
We try to make scouting as affordable as possible. Financial hardship should not prevent any child from being a full part of our group. We have an agreed fund that is available to support families who are experiencing hardship. Please speak to your section leader in the first instance.
