At the age of 10½ young people move into the last section of the 78th, the Scout troop, which meets on Wednesday evenings from 19.15 till 21.15.
Scouts use the skills that they have learned in the earlier sections, putting them into action regularly.
This section runs until Scouts reach the age of 14, after which they can move up to Explorers.
Membership Subscription for Beavers is £35 (£33 for each subsequent child) per term and we have 3 terms per year.What Scouts wear
Scouts wear a uniform during their weekly meetings and sometimes on trips away, depending on where they’re going and what they’re doing. Usually, this consists of a teal green shirt or blouse with their badges sewn on, which they pair with a scarf, known as a necker. Exact uniforms will vary slightly if your Troop is part of the Air Scouts or Sea Scouts.
Alongside their shirts, Scouts might wear the accompanying blue uniform trousers or skirt, or they might save their uniform bottoms to wear for special occasions like awards ceremonies and public events – choosing to wear something more casual with their shirt during the week. Optional accessories such as hats, hoodies, are also available.
Why uniform is important
Wearing a uniform is comfy and practical. It means you can run around and get messy without ruining your other clothes. It makes you feel part of a team. It means no one feels uncomfortable or left out. And it gives you a place to show off all the brilliant badges you earn.
Where you can buy the uniform
A Uniform can either be bought from our online shop – Scout Store – or from a local supplier, look for Scouts Long Sleeve Uniform. If you’re stuck, ask one of the adult volunteers to tell you more about what to buy and where to buy it. If cost is an issue, they will be more than happy to help.
Here’s where to sew on those badges…
