In Scouts you can do a wide range of activities. Here are a few; Pioneering - learn to use Knots and to build things using lashings. We have wide games every half term where we go to some woods or in the country side and play games and do challenges. We go swimming to various locations like Barnsley Metradome. We make assault courses using lots of objects and time how fast we can get round. In winter we go Sledging to some hills in Derbyshire for an evening.
We do a variety of sports some are: Football, Basketball, Cricket, Rounders and many more. We do cooking regularly some things we cook are Pancakes, Curry and McDonalds. Once a year we go on Summer Camp which takes place for one week in the summer holidays. We do all sorts of activities from Go Karting to raft making, we do things like archery, shooting and hiking. You get to be with your friends and have a laugh and a good time.
Scouts is not just about activities we do lots of Badgework which helps you get badges by doing various activities. We do First Aid, Knots, Pioneering, Map reading, compass bearings and many things like these. Some things you learn are lessons for life. You can put on your C.V. you have been to Scouts and it may help you. Some things you learn will help you in later life. You meet new friends, have fun and learn. It is something to do on a Wednesday night.
Come and try it for a week and see if you like it.
