Scouts
Scouts meet on Friday nights during term time at The Millennium Hall in Purton.
Scouts costs £20 per month, payable in advance by Direct Debit.
Children can start Scouts from aged 10 and a half and will remain with the section until they are 14, at which point they can move on to an Explorer group in the local area.
Support
The Scout section is supported by a fantastic team of volunteers who give their time to make sure the sessions are exciting and adventurous. If this sounds like something you might like to do, please get in touch – we’re always looking for new volunteers to help keep the group running.
Have a look at our volunteering section and either get in touch with one of the leaders or send us an email via our contact form.
“I love organising camps and activities and seeing the Scouts progress through the section earning badges and awards along the way.”
