Activities
Land Activities
   
  Scouting is very much about getting young people out and doing everything from a week long summer camp to caving, climbing and expeditions at home and abroad. It is through Scouting that many young people develop their interest a whole range of activities from archery to potholing. A large part of the Scout training programme is aimed at helping young people enjoy outdoor pursuits in a safe but challenging environment.
Water Activities    
  Scouts take part in a whole range of water based activities extending from sailing in Tall Ships to canal camping trips. The Sea Scout programme is largely dedicated to making young people as much at home on the water as they are on land. Water activities offer an especially exciting challenge within the Scout training programme.
Air Activities    
  Scouts can participate in a range of air activities including parachuting, paragliding, hand gliding, microlite flying and parascending.
Technology    
  Computing, electronics and amateur radio are just three examples of technology experienced by the modern Scout. Every year thousands of Scouts throughout the world learn about each other and make new friends during 'Jamboree-on-the-Air and 'Jamboree-on-the-Internet'. For many young people it is Scouting that often opens the door to a career in technology based industries.
Creativity    
  A popular image of Scouts is the rugged outdoor young person swinging across rivers or climbing mountains. The Scout programme also offers opportunities for creative and cultural activities such as playing in bands and orchestras or performing in shows. A number of today's top performers started their career in a Scout Gang Show.
