The Scout Troop caters for boys aged 10 to 14 and currently has almost fifty members. We have seven patrols - Badgers, Eagles, Falcons, Kestrels, Stags, Foxes and Wolves. Our current Term Programme is attached for information and is kept up to date so that any changes to times or meeting places can be noted. We meet on Wednesday evenings, although we also have activities most weekends in the summer and regularly throughout the rest of the year.
Activities

We try to camp out at least once a term throughout the year and to introduce all our members to a variety of adventurous activities. We own our own equipment for Abseiling, Archery, Caving, Crate-Climbing, Canoeing, Fishing, Rafting and Rock-Climbing.

Photographs of our members engaged in a variety of expeditions are attached.

Trophies & Awards
Currently the Troop hold the District Swimming Trophy (won in November 2005); the Gibb Bugle District Camping Competition (won in May 2005) and the William Robertson Shield for Scouting Knowledge (2005). Chief Scout’s Awards are made regularly to members of the Troop and the list since the founding of the Group is shown in History of the 83rd.
International

Over many years the Scout Troop has travelled abroad regularly and have many Scouting friends around the world. Under the new programme there will be opportunities for all members of this section to travel in the future.

We have visited and camped in the Netherlands in July 2003 and each year in February there is an expedtion to Paris and Eurodisney.
