Mission Statement of the Scout Association
The aim of The Scouts is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
We do this by providing an enjoyable, attractive and balanced programme of activities, based on the Scout Promise and Law, and guided by adult leadership.
What That Means To Us
Everything we do promotes personal development, confidence growth, self- respect, teamwork and leadership skills, with an emphasis on fun and adventure.
What do we do ?
Beavers – ages 6 to 8:
Meetings include a mix of team games, craft and skills-based activities (i.e. wildlife, safety skills, outdoor skills). Our Beavers also take part in indoor and outdoor weekends away, events and competitions with other Beaver Scouts.
Cubs – ages 8 to 10:
Cub meetings build on the skills learnt in Beavers, adding more life and leadership skills. Our Cubs enjoy a varied programme of activities, with badges ranging from Artist to Scientist! Each of our Cubs have the chance to vote on the badge they complete for the term and our leaders work hard so there is something for everyone. Like the Beavers, Cubs have the opportunity to attend around two camps (indoors and outdoors) per year, plus district sleepovers and competitions.
Scouts – ages 10 1/2 to 14:
Scout meetings build on the skills learnt in Cubs, and engage in lots more events and competitions. They have lots of fun, learning life and leadership skills and how to make a difference in their community. Our Scouts engage in lots of camping trips throughout the year, attending week long events like jamborees which attract other Scouts from around the world!
The 21st Romford Family:
While each section has it’s own team of leaders, 21st Romford is a great big family. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts regularly meet up for joint camps and events, as well as for district events and the annual Church carol concert.
