Our Sections

We have three sections at 1st pitsea and vange, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts

Beavers is for children aged between 6 and 8 years old and is run on a monday night during the hours of 5.30 and 6.45 pm.

Cubs is run on a monday night between the hours of 7-8.30pm for children aged between 8 and 10 years old.

Scouts is for young people aged between 10-14 years amd is run on a thursday night between the hours of 7.30-9.30pm.

Each of our sections charge £3.50 per week to help to cover activity cost and the upkeep of our hall.
As a person moves from beavers to cubs and cubs to scouts the more activities they are allowed to do

For example our beavers can attend sleepovers in our hall but cannot go camping, but they can still learn the skills involved, that way when they reach cubs they can then go on camps and use the knowledge that they gained in beavers as long as a leader is with them.

Then as them cubs become scouts the become slighty more independant and can go on one night camps on thier own with thier leaders knowing what they are doing and what they have planned to do.

This doesnt however mean that you have to had been a beaver to join cubs or a cub to join scouts.

The scouting programmes have been built in this way so that no matter how old you are there is a section that is just right for you and will keep you interested and not beibg able to wiat until you can get to the next section!!
