Scouts
We have one Scout troop which meets year round:
- Friday night: 7 to 9pm
The Scout Promise:- On my honour, I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God and to the Queen To help other people And to keep the Scout Law
The Scout Law:-
A Scout is to be trusted
A Scout is Loyal
A Scout is friendly and considerate
A Scout belongs to the worldwide family of Scouts
A Scout has courage in all difficulties
A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property
A Scout has self-respect and respect for others
The Scout Motto:- Be Prepared
The Scouts in the Troop work in small groups called Patrols, which are led by older Scout called Patrol Leaders and also Assistant Patrol Leaders.
We offer an enjoyable and active scheme of progressive training for the Scouts based upon the Scout Law and Promise. All activities are guided by adult leadership.

Scouts enjoy a great deal of fun and adventure whilst in the Troop. Activities include Canoeing, Hiking, Camping, Cycling, Cooking, Scouting Skills and many more.
We regularly camp for weekends at Urswick Hut, Torver and Bouth Woods and away from our own District.
Scouts are expected to wear their uniform at Troop meetings (with smart trousers at formal events). You will be informed if uniform is not required for any activities or meetings.
