Being a Scout
When you join Scouts, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
Badges & awards
Master something you love, or try something shiny and new. 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?
Scout promise
Every Scout is unique, but they find common ground in their shared Scout values, and make a promise to stick by them.
Making a promise when you join the Troop is a way of celebrating these values. Every time a new Scout decides to join, they chat through their promise with their leader before saying it out loud in front of their fellow Scouts.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join Scouts. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them.

Being a Volunteer

Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
