WELCOME to Swanley Scouts - the area's largest youth organisation for boys and girls. We're also the fastest growing at 30 per cent over the past two years - that's four times the national average.
Some 600 boys and girls are members of Swanley Scouts - and we are growing each year. The reasons for oursuccess are that we offer you fun and adventure with the opportunity to try lots of exciting new activities.
Whether you're Beaver Scout age (6 - 8), Cub Scout (8 - 10½), Scout (10½ -14), Explorer Scout (14 - 18) or a member of the Scout Network (18 - 25) there's an adventure waiting for you. All sections are open to girls & boys with 40 per cent of our new recruits being female.
Recently we've had Beaver sleepovers, Cub Scout camps, Scouts building their own rafts, Explorers on night hikes. We've done rock climbing, survival camps, parascending, go-kart racing, canoeing, cross country racing, hiking, swimming galas, loads of badge courses and every summer hundreds of us go on a week long camp such as the recent Kent International Jamboree. Check out the You Tube video message from our Chief Scout and television adventuror Bear Grylls to see just how fast Scouting in the UK is growing.
Each week we meet for an evening's activities where we learn new skills, play games, meet our friends and have a great time. So check us out - click on the relevant link below and get ready to join the adventure.
