10 - 14 year old Boys and Girls
Meets Tuesday Nights 7.30pm to 9.00pm at the Scout HQ on Green Lane. than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents.It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes.
Being outdoors is
important and half the Programme is given over to taking part in both
the traditional Scouting skills,
such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.
The international aspect gives Scouting a
special appeal and many Scouts now travel abroad during their time in
the
Section. The World Jamboree in 2011 is to be held in Sweden and the 2nd Datchet Scout Group are proud that one of our Scouts will join 40,000 other Scouts from every country in the world.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating
fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.
In 2010 the Scouts have already completed a PADI Sub Aqua course, attended
a camp at Chalfont Heights Campsite
where they took part in archery, BMX track through the forests and a high wire course. The Scouts also came 3rd in the annual 5-a-side football competition.
Coming up, scouts are taking part in the following activities:
Hiking Competition,
