|   What we do... As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. Young people in the Scouts take part in an exciting programme of activities from kayaking to climbing. They develop character skills like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid. ************************************************************************************** The 2017-18 Group annual report together with the accounts are to be found on the Annual Report page... **************************************************************************************  Clive has been awarded the Silver acorn by the Scout Association in recognition for his long term service to Scouting.
