What Is Scouting?

Scouting is a worldwide movement that encourages young people to explore, learn, and grow through adventure and service. It helps them develop confidence, leadership, teamwork, and respect for others and the environment.

Meerkats (5-7) follow the Meerkat trail where they learn new skills, play educational games and take on challenges divided into a number of themes. This Early Childhood Development programme was developed to address a direct need in our communities.

Cubs (7-11) follow the Cub trail where they learn new skills, play games, complete creative crafts, enjoy fun camps and community projects,. Along their journey they make new friends and acquire a number of badges.

Scouts (11-18) are guided by the Scout Trail. This adventure trail includes a wide range of activities such as hiking, camping, abseiling, swimming, survival skills, first aid or even flying! Scouting is an awesome and creative way to have fun, meet new people and active outdoors while exploring the world around you!

Rovers (18-30) get the opportunity to indulge in their love for the outdoors while being of service to others.
