Being a Scout
When you join Scouts, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. This section meets weekly during school term time on Fridays, 7.15pm-9.15pm at Tower Hall, 5 Broadlands Way, Rushmere St Andrew, Ipswich, IP4 5SU. We charge £25 per half term with an £18 Joining fee.
Activities and what you’ll get up to
Build and develop your confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills. Explore you beliefs and attitudes and be creative. Gain independence and put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips. The the calendar at the bottom of this page to see what we’re getting up to over the next few weeks.
Awards
Scouts start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It starts with an award. Who knows where it might lead?
Scout Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Moving up to Explorers
Eventually, it’ll be time embrace your next big adventure. The Next step is not within our group, but holds the exciting adventure of joining Orwell District. There are a number of Explorer Units within our district, including Comanchie’s, Alpha’s, 13th Ipswich Sea Explorers, Raedwald and Osprey’s.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
Scout leaders
All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Scouts the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.
