Preparing young people with skills for life
We’re 1st Bootscout Scout group, part of The Scouts and everyone is welcome here. Every week, we help our members aged 4-25 develop skills for life. Are you ready to join the adventure?
Running Scouts
Activities
Our activity finder is bursting with programme ideas, and can be searched by section, time, cost, setting, type or learning outcomes.
Badges
Master something you love, or try something shiny and new. These badges allow a young person to gain whichever badge is appropriate to the level they have reached.
Nights away
Whether camping, hostelling, or sleepovers, nights away form an integral part of Scouts, which every young person should have an opportunity to take part in.
POR
Scouts’ Policy Organisation and Rules (POR) provides support and guidance to help us all run Scouts.
