Scouts are girls and boys aged aged 10½ to 14.

Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative.  It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips.

We encourage girls and boys to take responsibility for themselves and each other, with older members leading a small team. They like being with friends and participating fully in the adventure of life.

Scouts have the opportunity to:

• Develop leadership skills

• Learn emergency aid

• Spend nights away – the 10-day summer camp is often the highlight of the year

• Help others in the community

• Cook, both at home and at camp

• Adventurous and sporting activities – anything from abseiling to zorbing

• Learn survival skills

We are fortunate to be based within Montpelier Park. We use the park for games, activities and investigations as part of badges. 

We have two Scout troops: 

Walpole  troop  Wednesdays - 7pm to 8.30pm
Pitshanger troop         Fridays - 7.30pm to 9.30pm
