Meet on Fridays from 7.30 until 9.15 at
Aston-on-Trent War Memorial Hall
The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years.
A young person can come in to the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 15
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" rather than meeting set standards is the key
approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her
achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts
take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in
which they live, encourages 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.
