Scouts

For boys and girls aged 10 ½ to 14.

Sparkford Scouts meet every Tuesday night with extra activities and camps throughout the year. During the year we have a fun and action packed programme which includes water sports, survival skills, hiking, badge work and much more.

Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative. It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips.

Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community based work to planning games and activities for their meetings.

A Scout Troop is divided into small groups called Patrols, each headed up by an older Scout called a Patrol Leader, and often with an Assistant Patrol Leader.

This section is run by Kevin Davis, Scott Austin and Alan Lewis.
