Beaver Scouts are young people usually aged between six and eight
years old. They belong to the first and youngest Section in the Scouting
family. Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on
visits and helping others. They usually meet together once a week in a
Beaver Scout Colony. |

Cub Scouts are young people usually aged between eight and ten and
a half years old. Cub Scouts also get to go on trips and days out, to
places like the zoo, theme parks or a farm. Sometimes you will be able
to go camping with the rest of your Pack. This will mean you sleeping in
a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities. |

The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½
and 14 years. Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of
activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather
than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who
wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of
Challenges Awards and Activity Badges |

Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged between 14 and 18
years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. Not
all Units meet each week, because you will often be out and about at
weekends or in the holidays doing activities. There will be times when
you will be busy doing other things such as exams, and being an Explorer
Scout will have to fit around these. The Young Leaders' Scheme is just
one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section.
All leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Section who are
between the ages of 14 and 18 must be members of a Young Leaders Unit.
They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of
their time in Scouting to service in another section. |

All members of The Scout Association between 18 and 25 years are
members of the Scout Network. As a member of the Scout Network you could
be:
- a member of a local Network
- a Leader with another Section
- a Helper of Skills Instructor
- a member of the Scout Fellowship
- a member in another capacity
Local Networks, can be based at County, District or Group; some may
be focused around a specific activity or location, e.g. Gang Show,
Activity Centre, climbing or canoeing. Scout Network programmes will
reflect the huge variation in Members' interests. Some local Networks
will have activities that concentrate on one area of the programme,
whilst others will have a wider range. One of the key elements is the
opportunity to get away, either under canvas or in other accomodation.

What ever the Young people want to do they need some support from
Adults in Scouting. From Leaders running the active programmes with the
sections to Group treasures, chairpeople and secretaries, District and
County roles, each play a part ensuring the best quality of Scouting for
our youngsters. |
