Beavers
7–8 Years
Beaver Scouts are the youngest section. It's where we start the adventure and the emphasis is maximum fun. Beaver Scouts are organised in small groups called Lodges. There is normally around 5 people in each Lodge. The Lodges are collected together in what we call a Colony. We also take on tasks so that we find out about responsibility. We learn lots of new skills by doing them but the most important thing is that we do it with other people, especially our friends.

9–11 Years
The Cub Scout adventure is full of fun and exploration. We are all about finding out about new things and new ways of having fun. We learn to become more responsible because we want to do more things like go on longer camps and lead activities. Cub Scouts are organised into small groups called Sixes and guess what, there are 6 Cub Scouts in them! The Sixes are collected together in what we call a Pack.

12–15 Years
Scouting started out of the Scout section so it stands to reason that we have some serious fun in Scouts. The Spirit of Adventure is what drives the Scout Section to challenge you to try new things and encourage Scouts to be more responsible, try more things as a team and even more leadership. Each Scout Section gets its identity from the members in the group — a chance for them to express that identity. This identity is shaped by the Scout Promise and Law that teaches crucial values: loyalty, trustworthiness, respect and bravery.

15–17 Years
The Venture Scout programme involves a wide variety of exciting and adventurous activities, where the Venture Scouts themselves are responsible for designing, planning and implementing their activities. From Beach BBQs to white water rafting to building snow caves on a winter expedition in the Alps, the programme is limited only by the young person's imagination.

18–25 Years
Rover Scouting is your chance to try something different, with a network offering exciting opportunities whether you're into rock-climbing, kayaking or something more obscure. You'll always find someone to share your interests and introduce you to try new things. Of course, there is a social element too — time spent with friends, new and old, and sharing stories is time well spent.
