Hunters and Explorers Troops
Ages 11-15 Our two Scout troops have very busy programs of activities. We have our Monday or Thursday evening meetings which include games and activities like pioneering skills, swimming, canoeing, climbing, ice skating, cooking competitions and archery. Then we usually have two or three weekend camps every term. These include activites such as rock climbing, water skiing, hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing, canoeing, survival skills rogaining and various competition camps. Our trained leaders help the Scouts to learn the skills needed to achieve a series of badges and to become leaders within the Scout troop. The badge award scheme gives our Scouts a knowledge of basic Scouting skills and marks achievements in areas such as citizenship, campcraft, air and water activities and improving the environment.
Scouts are all about actionWhen you become a Scout you're accepting a challenge to plunge into action. You could find yourself exploring a mountain wilderness, soaring on warm air currents high above the earth at the controls of a glider plane, helping in emergency rescues, operating a radio station, photographing wild animals, sending coded messages, searching for gold, canoeing down a swift river, camping out bush, recording your own songs or sailing across the ocean with the salt spray in your face.
