02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The objectives are as a unit of The Scout Association to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of the local, national and international communities by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training and fun events based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership. This is achieved through weekly meetings of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts throughout school terms including games, crafts and skills and indoor and outdoor skills to achieve merit badges. Participation in competitions involving other Groups at District level. Regular outings locally, ski week-ends, winter camps, week-end camps for both Scouts and Cubs, with indoor rock climbing, canoeing and hiking for Scouts. Occasional expeditions for Scouts at national and international level. In 2026 we travel to Denmark for a Jamboree.
