THE SCOUT TROOP

  We are aged between 10 ½ (11) and 15 years old and meet on Friday evenings between 7.30pm and 9.30pm. Currently we have amalgamated with the 1^st Southgate Scout Troop and meet alternate weeks at our HQ in Furnace Green and at Bligh Close, Tilgate.

We enjoy a varied and challenging programme of fun and activities to help us work as an individual or as part of a team.  Our teams are called PATROLS and the most senior member of the PATROL is known as the PATROL LEADER.  He or she (because we are a mixed Scout Troop) is helped by the ASSISTANT PATROL LEADER.  These Scouts wear a badge to show the responsibility that they have in the Troop.

We can achieve badges and awards including:-

      OUTDOOR CHALLENGE

OUTDOOR CHALLENGE PLUS

CREATIVE CHALLENGE

FITNESS CHALLENGE

GLOBAL CHALLENGE

COMMUNITY CHALLENGE

ADVENTURE CHALLENGE

EXPEDITION CHALLENGE

The highest award that we can gain in the Scout Section is the CHIEF SCOUT’S GOLD AWARD.

There are also 74 different activity badges that we can achieve.

There are currently 15 members in the Troop.
