Scout Troop
Monday 19:30 - 21:00 St Andrews Church Hall
The Cub Pack runs an exciting programme of both inside and outside activities each Monday evenings, It's open to any young person from 10 1/2 - 14 years
Scouts is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young person can come in to the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 14 and half years old. The Scout Troop is the fourth section in the Scout Group.
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes
Being outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.

Investitures
Once your child has been to at least four meetings they will be eligible to become a Scout. Either you can ask me (if your child hassles you!) or I will ask after about seven meetings.
To be invested your child must attend at least four meetings and answer some questions about this Troop and scouting in general. The questions will be sent to you after about three weeks' attendance. All the answers can be found on this page.
To become invested they will be required to:
