Squirrels – 4 to 6 years
In 2018, The Scout Association started the process of beginning Squirrel Scouts for 4 and 5-year-olds to reach new communities and support young people at a key stage of their development.
Beavers – 6 to 8 years
Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Cubs – 8 to 10½ years
Every week, they gather in groups called Cub Packs to take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Scouts – 10½ to 14 years
Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Scout Troops to conquer the small task of changing the world.
Explorers – 14 to 18 years
Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Units to try new things, make new friends and conquer the small task of changing the world.
Network – 18 to 25 years
Scout Network connects over 20,000 young people aged 18 to 25 across the UK, and gives them the opportunity to take part in a huge range of exciting projects and events centred on the themes of ‘Adventure’, ‘Community’ and ‘International’.
