Sections of Scouting

The Scouting family is comprised of five age ranges.  All sections share the same areas of programme, getting more adventurous as young people progress through the sections.

The youngest members of the Scouting family are Beaver Scouts. Children aged 6 to 8 begin their Scouting adventure by having fun and making friends.

Cub Scouts for boys and girls aged 8 to 10½.

Scouts for youngsters aged 10½ to 14.

Explorer Scouts for teenages between 14 and 18.

Scout Network for young adults aged 18 to 25.
