Scouting is for young people aged between 10½ and 14 years who want to make friends and develop their widening interests in ways that are both educational and fun - young people who want a break from the usual after school routine of homework, games and watching television.
 
Our activities are about action and involvement and mean more than just camping. Hiking, rock climbing, gliding, sailing, pioneering, canoeing, parascending, abseiling, putting on shows and exhibitions, motor mechanics, amateur radio, electronics, photography - the list is endless!
 
Scouts are also given the chance to learn skills in survival, cooking and first aid.
 
There are many international opportunities as well, both in this country and abroad. Recently, Scouts from the United Kingdom attended the World Jamboree in Thailand. The next World Jamboree will be held in England in 2007, the Scout Movement's 100th birthday.

St. Matthews Scouts meet on Thursday evenings.
