Over 600 members meet weekly in our District supported by a large number of committed adults to take part in a wide range of activities in a safe learning enviroment where both learning and fun are held in equal importance.
We provide a varied wide range of activities to both male and female members from 6 years of age upwards;
| Beaver Scouts | 6 to 8 years of age |
| Cub Scouts | 8 to 10˝ years of age |
| Scouts | 10˝ to 14 years of age |
| Explorer Scouts | 14 to 18 years of age |
| Scout Network | 18 to 25 years of age |
| District Fellowships | 18+ years of age |
but we also feel that it is equally important that the adult volunteer helpers enjoy themselves too.
Some of the extra events we organise over and above the regular weekly Scouting activities include, archery, camping, canoeing, challenge trophies, cross country, fencing, football, hill walking, hockey, orienteering, pioneering, shooting, sports, swimming gala and much much more.
Contact any of the District Team for more information and see above for where your nearest Group meets.
