Get Directions

Beavers (Ages 6 to 8)

Beaver Scouts are our youngest members. They usually meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities, including games, crafts, singing, visits, and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

Cubs (Ages 8 to 10½)

A Cub Scout Pack can have up to 36 Cub Scouts and is split into smaller groups called Sixes. Cubs take part in a wide range of activities designed to be interesting and challenging. A Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors.

Camps and holidays are some of the most memorable events of the year for Cubs.

Scouts (Ages 10½ to 14½)

A Scout Troop can have up to 36 Scouts and is split into smaller groups called Patrols. Scouts take part in a wide range of activities designed to be interesting and challenging. A Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors.

Camps and holidays are some of the most memorable events of the year for Scouts.

Explorers & Network (Ages 14½ to 25)

These sections are run by West Leeds Scout District rather than directly by the 8th.

When Scouts move up to Explorers from the 8th, we will put them in touch directly. Ideally, they will move up in a small group and know a few of the Young Leaders (who are Explorers themselves), so that they have familiar faces while they settle in.

Otherwise, if you’re looking to join a unit directly, you can find more information on their website.
