Scouts (Ages 10½–14)
Bassingham Scouts meet on Thursday nights during school term time at Bassingham School Hall—unless the programme says otherwise.
We love to get out and about, packing our programme with as many activities and adventures as possible!

Skills for Life
Scouts learn practical skills and life lessons, such as:
-
Working as a team to achieve goals
-
Relating to different people
-
Thinking through and solving problems
These are the same skills that people pay management consultants thousands to learn!
Safety and Equipment
Many of our activities take us away from the hall—like bivouacking, night hikes, and camps. Details are shared via Online Scout Manager (OSM) and at meetings.
-
Nights away: Must be authorised by a parent or guardian.
No authorisation = No activity! -
Kit lists: Provided for camps and hikes. Please bring every item—your safety depends on it! If you’re missing something, ask a Leader; we may have spares.
No kit = No activity!
