1st Long Sutton Scout Group

Beavers
Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting family. They can move to the next Section, Cub Scouts,
between eight and eight years six months.

Cub Scouts
There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get a chance to try lots of different exciting activities like swimming, climbing, kayaking, music, exploring, computing and collecting. If you do them properly you will get a badge which you can wear on your uniform.

Scouts
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.

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.
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.
