Scouts logo

Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. The activities and adventures continue to get bigger and we start to give them more independence. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. 

Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camps as well as a wide range of other things, such as electronics, teamwork and important life skills.

We still recognise their efforts through badges and award schemes however there is a bigger emphasis on them to complete their awards themselves.

Makaton is a language programme that uses symbols, signs, and speech to enable people to communicate, while encouraging language development. It’s especially used by people who find communication difficult, for example, some people with learning disabilities.

Please note that this resource still references The Queen. Updated versions referencing The King will be available soon.

Scout Uniform

What to wear

The Scout Uniform consists of the following:

  • Official teal green shirt, clean and ironed
  • Navy activity trousers, clean and ironed
  • Group scarf, neatly rolled, with a suitable woggle
  • A Scout belt

Scouts should always arrive to meetings in full uniform unless told otherwise. If we are doing something that may mean their uniform will get very dirty, we will recommend our Scouts bring some scruff kit to change into

Badge positions

All badges go in a specific location on the uniform. Please see the diagram opposite to see where they should go.
