Youth Programme: Ages 4–14

Our 4–14 programme spans four exciting sections—each designed to inspire, challenge, and help young people build skills for life:

4–6 | Squirrels

A playful introduction to Scouting, where our youngest members explore through storytelling, games, and simple outdoor activities. It’s all about fun, friendship, and early learning.
👉 More about Squirrels on The Scouts Website

6–8 | Beavers

Time for more adventurous play—games, crafts, campfire fun, and earning badges. Beavers start developing independence and teamwork.

8–10½ | Cubs

Bigger activities and bigger challenges: hiking, community projects, more badges—and the start of young leadership roles like Sixers.

10½–14 | Scouts

Our core outdoor-focused section. Scouts camp, canoe, take part in international trips, and begin to shape their own adventures. They take on roles like Patrol Leader and work toward Chief Scout Awards.
