Parents Zone

We have designed this part of the website to give you, the parent, a bit of information about what your son will be getting up to at Scouts every week.

As a parent of a child in Scouting, we would like to welcome you to the Scouting family. We know that you play a big part in your child’s involvement in Scouting, through both practical help and encouragement.

By now you should know a bit about the history of Scouting and what Scouting involves, but if you would like to know more then read on.

Whilst the activities they take part in will depend on their age, each Section in the Scouting family gives young people the opportunity to learn by doing. The main programme areas are: Outdoor and Adventure; Global; Community; Fit for Life; Creative and Beliefs; and Attitudes. Scout Leaders are trained to deliver this programme, ensuring our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.

You can find out more about your son's specific section by visiting the sections pages. Each Section also has a dedicated part of the site which has diagrams of where the badges go, badge requirements, and lots of other information.
