What do Scouts do?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. We also get to hang out with our friends every week \u2013 having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week we give young people the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
