Activities
There are a whole range of interesting and exciting activities and programmes that are running in the Scout Troops, Groups, Districts and County. Here you will find activities that are available to Scouts in the County.

* – Local District competitions are run to determine who or which teams represent the District at a County Level. Please contact your District's ADC(Scouts) or District Scout Leader for more details.
In addition to the above there are Adventurous Activities such as Kayaking, Mountaineering and Climbing/Abseiling. For more information please check out the ACC(Activities) webpage.
All of our activities are based on the principle that we need to provide activities that develop young people and offer:
- Excitement but not danger
- Adventure but not hazard
It is the role of the ADC(Scouts), County Scout Leaders and ACC(Scouts) as a team to support the Districts in the delivery of premium activities and programmes within the County and promote Scouting to the community.

- Open to all/joining in (e.g. IceScout Camp)
- Run in accordance with the rules laid down in Policy, Organisation and Rules
- Run to high standards, well planned with early announcement
- Good discipline and high standards should be expected from both adults and young people. Scouts and Leaders should be proud to take part and most importantly everybody should have fun
- All activities should be 'on brand' and relevant to the section core age range
- The future leaders are the young people now (Taking the Lead)
- Improving transfer between sections (Breaking down Barriers). Specifically between Scouts and Explorer Scouts
- Increase the number and role of young people in decision making
