All About Scouts . . . .
|
The Scout section in Long Sutton
is currently without a full-time leader, and is
therefore temporarily being run by
Ian Cashmore as the 'Acting' Scout Leader.
He is supported by Assistant Scout Leader -
Jade Vickers.
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. The Scout Troop is the
third and final Section in the Scout Group. |
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.
The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal
and many Scouts now travel abroad during their time in
the Section. In 2007 40,000 Scouts from around the World
attended the World Jamboree in the UK, and Scouts
regularly participate in International camps and
experiences both on home soil and abroad, each of them a
unique experience in its own right.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team,
participating fully in the adventure and opportunities
of life. |
