Welcome to 1st Hampton Park Scout Troop
The aim of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens, and as a member of their local, national and international communities. The principles of Scouting are that Scouts should serve God, act in consideration of the needs of others and develop and use their abilities to the betterment of themselves and their families and the community in which they live. Scouts is for young people aged between ten and a half and fourteen and a half years. At this point in their lives Scouts show great enthusiasm for activities that give them a sense of achievement and follow their special interests with intensity.
Trained Leaders use these characteristics to help make Scouting an experience in which young people gain character- developing qualities while having fun.
During their years in Scouts they aim to earn a series of Badges, which give them a knowledge of basic Scouting skills and mark achievements in areas such as citizenship, campcraft, air and water activities and improving the environment.
Hampton Park Scouts
Here's a few details you need to know:
- We meet on Friday nights.
- We start with parade at 7pm and finish with parade at 9pm.
- On parade, you need to stand quietly and watch what we do.
- You can visit with us for six weeks, and after that, you'll need to decide whether you want to join.
- You can wear anything that's comfortable, and once you've joined, you'll need a Scout uniform.
Parents:
Please come and fill in an M1 form which gives us your contact details and any medical information we may need. There is no financial commitment until your child decides to formally join. The term fees are very reasonable and our Group Leader will be in touch with all the details.
Please note: we'd prefer if you didn't drop and run - please come in with your scout and say hi! and come in to pick them up. Thanks!
