What we do:
The Troop is the section for scouts aged between 11 and 16. Our aim of the Troop is to provide fun, challenging and interesting activities for our members and at the same time give them the skills and values they need to face the world tomorrow.
Our Activities:
It is impossible to list all the activities we do in the Troop! Take a look at the Photo Gallery and see for yourself! If you have a taste for fun and adventure and you like a good challenge... and if you want to be part of a strong team of friends... you found the right place!!
Our Method:
In Aids to Scoutmastership, Baden-Powell wrote:
“The aim of the Scout training is to improve the standard of our future citizenhood, especially in character and health; to replace self with service, to make the lads individually efficient, morally and physically, with the object of using that efficiency for service for their fellow-men.”
The six areas of development
• Physical development;
• Intellectual development;
• Affective or emotional development;
• Social development;
• Spiritual development;
• Character development.
Character development is the dimension of personal identity and will It unifies all the other areas in a process of personal growth. Without the dimension of character, the person cannot be the actor of his/her own development.
Scouting takes all the dimensions of the human personality into account and, therefore, identifies several areas of growth on which the Scouting’s educational objectives are based. The areas of growth should not be considered separate elements, but as parts of a whole. These six dimensions have been presented on the same level as separate areas in order to make them easier to analyse. In fact, they are all interrelated and form a whole, the human personality.
Our Members:
The Troop is split into several teams called Patrols. Each Patrol has a team-leader called a Patrol Leader (PL) and an Assistant Patrol Leader (APL). The Patrol Leaders are led by the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL). The Troop is run by the SPL and the Patrol Leader's Council (PLC) who are supported by the adult leaders: the Scout Leader (known as Skipper) and his Assistant Scout Leaders.

Our Meetings:
The Troop meets every Friday at 6.30 pm. The meeting starts at about 6.45pm and finishes at 9.00pm. During the weekly meeting scouts have the chance to play games, get instructed on new scouting skills, earn badges, share ideas with the rest of the Troop and plan new activities for the Patrol.
How to Join:
This is an easy one! Just come along to one of our meetings and ask for Skipper. You will be introduced to the other Leaders and they will help you find the patrol you would like to be with. There is no cost involved in doing this.
A new member normally spends a month or two with us before we invest him as a scout. This is so that the new member has enough time to make sure that he knows what we are all about and that he wants to join us.
