Speaking up and taking the lead.
Young people can join Scouts at around 10 and a half, they can move up to Explorer Scouts around their fourteenth birthday.
Many Scouts move up from Cubs, but you don’t need to have been a Cub to enjoy Scouts.
What do Scouts in the 3rd get up to?
We start small but think big. They stand up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorstops, knowing it all adds up. They’re starting to take the lead on their own adventures, building their camps or leading their activities. It’s also a chance to enjoy new activities, adventures abroad and their choice of the skills they learn for life.
Putting the pieces together.
As well as making and living by their promise, Scouts work towards the nine challenge awards, so they can achieve the Chief Scout’s Gold Award, the Top Award. They also have a choice of over 70 activity badges to develop a specific skill, from angling to writing via geocaching or scientist.
The handy guide can be used to show you where each badge goes.
