Join Our Group

If you think Scouting’s just about knots, woggles and big shorts, then be prepared to be surprised. It’s how Richard Branson, Barack Obama and David Beckham got their start in life and you can benefit too.

There are 450,000 young people in Scouting, spread across five sections: Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network. Each section has its own balanced programme of activities, badges and awards.

All our sections cater for all abilities and the Fraserburgh Groups are for both male and female members with the split broadly 50:50.

Ages 5¾ –8

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

They will also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.

Ages 8-10½

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 with the Fraserburgh group going away for weekend camps several times a year.

Cubs meet on a Monday night.

Ages 10½–14

Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.

Rock climbing, potholing, gliding, photography and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.

The Fraserburgh scout group is very active with regular outdoor activities, adventures, weekend camping and a week long summer camp. The group have also recently been to Kendersteg in Switzerland for a Summer Camp.

Scouts meet on a Monday night.

Ages 14–18

Explorers are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme
and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from leaders. The section also includes the Young Leaders’ Scheme, where young people are able to take on a leadership role in one of the younger sections.

There is wider scope for activities like offshore sailing, campaigning, performing, parascending, mountaineering and expeditions.

The Explorers meet on a Monday. They have an adventurous programme attend international camps and our members are frequent visitors to the World Scout Jamboree the last being in Japan. The Explorers can also do their Duke of Edinburgh Award along side the scouts awards.
