Throughout the year there will also be opportunities to go camping which will mean sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

The Scout section builds on the skills developed in Beavers and Cubs, they are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their active programme. This helps them to find out about the world in which they live and allows them to discover their own abilities, creative talents and the importance of keeping fit. Scouts are encouraged to take part in both traditional and modern Scouting skills, from camping and survival through to abseiling and climbing. The troop meets weekly during school terms from 7.30pm to 9pm on Monday evenings in the church hall.
