Hello my name is Tom and I am the person in charge of Scouts
in Weymouth and Portland
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 and final 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.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating
fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.
