Scouts – 10½ to 14 years
Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it; you will soon follow suit. Our Frontiers Scout Troop meets on Mondays from 6:30 to 8:00, while our Pioneers Scout Troop meets on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:30.
Is there a waiting list?
Lots of young people want to join Scouts and you might have to wait for a space to become available before you can start your journey. If a section has a waiting list, parents and other adults might want to think about what they could do to help out. Regardless of skillset or availability, there’s an opportunity for everyone to contribute.
Scout Law and Values and Promise
The Scout Promise for members who are atheist or of no faith background:
On my honour,
I promise that I will do my best
to uphold our Scout values, to do my duty to The King,
to help other people
and to keep the Scout Law.
You can find the full set of Scout Promises for other faiths on the Scouts website here. You should also take time to read the Scout Law and values, which all members of the Scouting organisation are expected to uphold, and which can be found here.

Scouts wear a uniform during their weekly meetings and sometimes on trips away, depending on the destination and activity.

Uniforms can be purchased from our online shop — Scout Store — or from a local supplier, such as Forest Casuals on Loughton High Road. Here’s where to sew on those badges…
