Scouts

Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.

Scouts start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It starts with an award. Who knows where it might lead?

When and where do we meet?

From time to time there will be weekend activities.

Patrols

Scouts borrows a great deal of its structure from the Lord Baden Powell’s experience in the military. The scout section is known as a Troop, with scouts being organised into Patrols. We have four Patrols in our Scout Troop:-

Each scout wears their Patrol badge on their right arm below the District Badge. Each Patrol is made up of around 6-8 scouts of a range of ages and new scouts normally join a patrol in which they know at least one person. Each Patrol is led by a Patrol Leader (PL) helped by an Assistant Patrol Leader (APL); these are scouts who have demonstrated their competence, good behaviour and been a good example to those in the Troop.

Nights Away

Nights away from home make up a part of the Scout programme and help young people gain independence and spend time with friends. At 1st Newton and Kingsley we usually go away for a number of weekend camps a year plus other overnight activities through out the year.
