Scouts

Scout Promise

On my honour, I promise that I will do my best to do my duty to God and to The Queen, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law.

Scout Law

  1. A Scout is to be trusted.

  2. A Scout is loyal.

  3. A Scout is friendly and considerate.

  4. A Scout belongs to the worldwide family of Scouts.

  5. A Scout has courage in all difficulties.

  6. A Scout makes careful use of time and is careful of possessions and property.

  7. A Scout has self-respect and respect for others.

Code of Conduct

  1. Scouts should be mindful of the Scout Law and uphold the Scout Promise.

  2. Scouts should join in all activities and work as a team within the Patrol / Troop.

  3. Scouts should play fair and must not cheat / spoil games.

  4. Leaders and Scouts should listen to each other. Scouts should be quite while waiting in the circle - no Scout should makes a noise / mess about in quiet times e.g. when the Leaders need to give out instructions at flag break / flag down, or while game rules are being explained. Waiting for an activity to start is not an excuse to gossip with your friends.

  5. There shall be no fighting / bullying.

  6. No one should make fun of anyone else because of their colour, religion, abilities, disabilities.

  7. Scouts are expected to come to meetings regularly and Scouts should call a Leader if they do not plan to attend a meeting on a specific week.

  8. Breaches of this Code of Conduct will be recorded by the Leaders. Leaders and PLs will review breaches and Scouts will be sent home and / or exclusion from the Troop for the next Troop Night for serious breaches of acceptable conduct. Persistent breaches will lead to the expulsion of offenders from the Troop.

  9. Full uniform shall be worn to and during every meeting unless a Leader specifically says it is not required.
