Scouts is for boys and girls aged between 10½ and 14 years. The aim of scouting is to develop a young person's interest in an educational and fun way. They take part in activities which encourages them to know their own abilities and practice their creative talents. The Balanced Programme has been introduced to provide opportunities for scouts to explore their own values and personal development.  There are six programme zones in the scout section:

Scouting and adventure; Global; Community; Fit for life; Creative Expression; Exploring beliefs and attitudes.

The programme recognises that being outdoors is important and time is given to taking part in camping, survival and cooking, together with a wide range of adventures including climbing, abseiling and archery.
