Scouts
Scouts is open to girls and boys aged between 10½
and 14. Each troop is named after an endangered animal in Oman.
We need more Regular Adult Volunteers to enable us to run the Troops seperately and increase capacity. Please Volunteer !
Scouts is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and
Cubs and was the original section set up by our founder Baden-Powel.
A Cub may move up to Scouts any time between their 10th and 11th birthdays.
Some people like to stay in Cubs as long as possible, others can’t wait
to become a Scout as soon as possible! We’re just like big adventurous Cubs
really; at least until we’re 14, then it’s time for Explorers.
The Scout Troop provides a wide variety of different, exciting and enjoyable
activities with the objective of helping young people to develop to their
full potential. The Troop operates on a patrol basis in which the young
people themselves play a significant and important part in the running of
the Troop.
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part
of their programme. “Participation” rather 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.
