The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between ten and a half and fourteen years. A young person can come in to the Troop at ten and may stay until they are fifteen years old. The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. Participation is once again important and each scout will work towards a number of Challenges, Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world they live in, encourage 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.
