Explore the unknown

Scouts is the third age section of Scouts, and it is for adolescents aged 11 to 14 years. Scouts work as a Patrol to explore the great unknown. Every experience involves a new challenge, and Scouts support each other on the way. Ideally, Scouts progress to Venturer Scouts before their 15th birthday.

Scouts are:

• experiencing big changes

• exploring their changing sense of self

• focusing more on peer networks

• transitioning from primary school to secondary school

• finding new ways to express themselves

• exploring and forming their personal identity

In the program, Scouts:

• take charge of their own expeditions

• lead the Unit Council

• develop more complex outdoor skills

• support their local communities

• start to be active in their national communities

• form teams that last for life

• build Project Patrols

• develop their life perspective
