Scouts is for children, aged between 11 and 15 years, to enjoy learning life skills and Scouting values in a safe, fun and youth-driven environment. Scouts transition to the Venturer Scout Unit before turning 15.
As members work their way through the higher age groups on the Scouting pathway, they’re gradually given more responsibility for themselves and others. The activities and badges become more challenging as well. Camping for Scouts can mean a new level of self-sufficiency, and adventures can demand a greater level of risk management.
Patrol Activities are at the heart of the program. Scouts are encouraged to Plan, Do and Review activities that interest them on the way to achieving their all-important Milestone Badge. Scouting is youth-led and adult-supported. Leaders are often scratching their heads in amazement at the wonderful ideas that youth members come up with!
Minimal annual fees are payable as well as costs associated with the uniform and occasional camps and other excursions.
The 2nd Clifton Hill Scouts have two packs which meet every Wednesday 7.00-9.00pm during the ordinary school term.
