You can join Scouting at any stage of your life, from 4 years old and beyond. Many young people are introduced to Scouting by joining Beavers - our youngest age group - and progress through Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers. At 18 young adults can choose to continue the Scouting adventure by joining the Scout Network or stay on as an adult volunteer. Others join at a later stage.
Completing our local Everest challenge was the hardest but most rewarding time for me in Scouts – hillwalking in amazing scenery to achieve the equivalent height of Everest in a calendar year.
