All sections are for any youth, girls and boys. Each section is aged based and is designed to grow, develop and challenge the child as they progress through Scouting. Each section provides a badge system that provides a means of encouraging the child to achieve.
Each section has trained Leaders who have been through a nationally accredited training programme.
All Scouting members are required to wear a uniform that currently is made up of a shirt, hat and Group scarf. Each youth member’s shirt identifies the section that they belong to via a coloured insert across their sleeves and shoulders.
As the youth transition up to the next section, they are guided through a linking scheme which requires them to complete a number of set activities. This is usually done in the new section under the guidance of the section Leader. It also provides the youth time to get to know the members of the new section and to understand how they operate.
All Sections now share the same Promise and Law
