Troop Meetings

Scouts are the third section of the Scout Movement and invites young people between 10½ and 14½ to join the fun. The meetings are weekly but usually there will be other additional activities organised to support the Challenge programme that has been devised to cover all aspects of the training scheme designed to encourage the development of young people.

1st Cheam Troop try to camp up to six times a year. This allows for activities like canoeing, caving, hiking and pioneering to be undertaken without the time constraints of the weekly meeting. They will use our own campsite for the short weekend camps but travel further afield for their annual summer camp, like Wiltshire and Sussex in the last two years.

The programme runs throughout the year, though an informal series of activities take place during the school holidays. There are also opportunities to take part in events run by Sutton District so they can meet and join other troops in the locality. Typical activities run by the District include swimming, sports and camping competitions.

We aim to offer the widest range of activities for young people in this age range to encourage them to become self reliant, self confident and a asset to the community.
