Scouts is for 10½ to 14 year olds
Scouts build confidence, try adventurous activities and learn to lead.
From archery to zorbing, there’s something new every week. Scouts camp, hike, climb, paddle and cook outdoors. They plan their own activities, run projects in the community and, for some, take their first trip abroad.
Each Troop is split into small teams called Patrols. Scouts take turns as Patrol Leader, so everyone gets the chance to make decisions and look after others.
There are Scout Troops across North Shields, Tynemouth, Meadow Well, Percy Main, Wallsend and Howdon, plus Tynemouth Sea Scouts for young people who love the water. See when and where they meet.
Young people can join from 10 and move up to Explorers between 13½ and 14½.
