Our Sections
Irrespective of a member’s age, a young person in the Movement is a ‘Scout’. The balanced Programme spans the 6-25 age range which is made up of five Sections. Each Section has its own identity, ethos and style. They all have adult support that varies in style across the different age groups.

These are all part of a Scout Group.
• We are a uniformed movement

We involve young people in decision making as part of their development Additionally the Group has a Scout Active Support section, comprising adults who are prepared to assist with activities and events.
