Scouting offers fun and everyday adventure for young people aged 4 to 14
The Scout Association offers fun and everyday adventure to young people across the United Kingdom. The main goal is to help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international communities. Scouting gives young people skills for life.
Even if we can't solve all the problems in the world, we can help to make it a better place. Scouting makes a positive contribution to society by helping young people to develop as active members of the community.
Tuesday 17:30 - 18:30
We're starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.
Squirrels is a completely new provision for 4–5 year olds. Squirrels gives young people the chance to master new skills and try new things, make friends, have fun outdoors, learn new things and earn badges through fun.
Every week, they gather in groups called Dreys to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.

Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Each Colony is made up of young people aged 6 to 8, led by an adult Beaver leader. Other adult volunteers are on hand to supervise activities, share their skills and keep everyone safe.
There are Scouts all over the world. Beavers are part of this worldwide Scout family. Closer to home, they're also part of their wider local Scout Group, alongside Squirrels (age 4 to 5), Cubs (aged 8 to 10½) and Scouts (aged 10½ to 14).

Every week, they gather in groups called Cub Packs to take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Being a Cub is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. Race down a river. Tell stories by torchlight. Fall asleep beneath the stars. Alongside your Pack, you'll spend plenty of time in the great outdoors.
Cubs learn by doing. Some of the skills you develop will be practical, like knowing how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid. Cubs work as a team to help other people.

Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Scout Troops to conquer the small task of changing the world.
Being a Scout is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are. Alongside your new friends, you'll master the skills that will help you weather the storms of life.
Scouts start small but think big. They stand up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorsteps.
