Scouts are young people from year 7 to 10 at school (about 10 to 15 years old) who want
to make friends and develop widening interests in ways that are both educational and fun.
Scouts operate in Patrols which are encouraged to plan & organise their own activities in order to develop teamwork and self reliance. The patrol system enables Scouts to experience leadership. A progressive award scheme enables Scouts to learn a range of new skills through working on personal challenges and group activities. Our activities are about action and involvement and this means more than just camping.
Tramping, rock climbing, pioneering, canoeing, abseiling, putting on shows, electronics,
photography - the list is endless! Scouts are also given the chance to learn skills in survival, cooking and first aid. Every three
to four years there is the opportunity to take part in a ten day Jamboree with over 5,000
other young people. In 2010 there will be a Jamboree in Hamilton which the St Martin's Scouts will be attending. The Scout Law
