Scouting for Ages 4 to 25

Adventure, skills, and fun for every young person

At 7th Plymouth Scouts, we welcome children and young people aged 4 to 25, offering exciting opportunities, outdoor adventures, and lifelong friendships. Whatever your interests, there’s a section for you—and always a new challenge to try.

Our Sections

• Squirrels (4–6 years)
  The very start of the Scouting journey! Squirrels is about making friends, learning new things, and building confidence through games, crafts, and outdoor fun.

• Beavers (6–8 years)
  Beavers get creative, play as a team, and begin to experience camping, simple skills, and their first big adventures.

• Cubs (8–10½ years)
  Cubs dive into a world of activities, including team challenges, outdoor skills, hiking, creative projects, and making a difference in the community.

• Scouts (10½–14 years)
  Scouts take things further with camping, expeditions, adventurous activities, developing leadership skills, and learning how to handle new challenges.

• Explorers (14–18 years)
  Explorers enjoy more independence, bigger adventures, expeditions, and a chance to lead and help run activities, plus opportunities for awards like the Duke of Edinburgh’s.

• Network (18–25 years)
  Network is the next step for young adults, combining adventure, skill-building, volunteering, and the chance to plan and run their own projects or events.

Opportunities for Everyone

• Try something new and get outdoors

• Learn practical skills for life

• Make friends and build confidence
