Scouts & Guides
The Scouts and Girl Guides are organisations that have been around for over a century and have groups starting from the age of 6. Scouts and Guides empower young people to learn new skills, make new friends and some opportunities allow you to do something you have never done before.
Activities they do
From learning about animals cooking to first aid and knot tying, the amount of different activities all different age groups get up to is really quite endless. They also do residential trips and camp outs.
