Your child and Scouting

BeaversDo you know what your child gets up to at their evening meeting? If not, read on to be enlightened!

Whilst the activities they take part in will depend on their age, each Section gives young people the opportunity to learn by doing. Each Section has between five and seven Programme Zones. Programme Zones divide the whole Programme into manageable areas. Each zone represents a different development area in a young person's life. Scout Leaders are trained to deliver this programme, ensuring our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.
