Our sections
As a Young Person aged 4–25, you can participate in one of six sections.
4 to 6 years
A completely new provision for 4 and 5 year-olds. Make friends, have fun outdoors, and learn new things.
6 to 8 years
Try new things. Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of your big adventure.
8 to 10½ years
Develop new skills. Soar to great heights. Being a Cub opens up a whole other world.
10½ to 14 years
Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.
14 to 18 years
Try more. See more. Do more. At Explorers, you’ll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.
18 to 25 years
Try more. See more. Do more. At Network, you’ll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.
