SERVICE DETAILS
Scouts...
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 Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. The emphasis is on taking part and there are a number of badges and awards Scouts can work towards to recognise their commitment and achievements.
Being outdoors is important in the Scout Section and half the Programme is given over to taking part in traditional Scouting skills such as camping, survival and cooking as well as a wide range of adventurous activities, which can include anything from abseiling to zorbing.
The chance to take part in international travel is also important for Scouts and many travel abroad during their time in the Section.
Suitable for ages 10.5 - 14 years.
Fees...
Each group charges a fee (called subscriptions or subs) to cover the costs of running regular meetings. This covers venue hire, insurances and materials for activities. There're sometimes extra charges for special activities, camps and events. We try to keep our subs as low as possible. so that anyone can come to Scouts. If you need help paying subs, please speak to your leader.
How to Join...
Direct entry into Scouts is also unlikely. We feed our 2 Scout Troops from our two Cub Packs and most children stay on. Places are also only available when a child leaves the Scout Troop. We do offer a waiting list for Scouts, but places are unlikely to be offered due to the size of the Cub Packs.
If you would like to join one of our sections, please email us at 30thcraigalmond@gmail.com stating the name and date of birth of the child you would like added to the list. We would also suggest that you contact other local Scout Groups too, to increase your chances of joining The Scout Association.
