The Scout troop is central to the
Group’s operations. Scouts are aged between 10½ and
14 years. The Troop meets on fridays between 7pm and 9.30pm.
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.
Scouts at the 4th Erith group enjoy an annual summer camp with a great
set of activities. |
