Scouting in Guernsey
Locally, the sections link together to form a Scout Group. In
addition to these four sections are the adult leaders whose ages range from 18 to 65. Leaders need
not have previous Scouting experience, and training is provided both in the UK and locally. Leaders
are also assisted by teams of helpers, instructors and administrators who take care of the
administrative aspects of Scouting.

We have been very successful at improving the quality of programmes
and support and are delighted that the success of this is shown in the increasing numbers of young
people benefiting for Scouting in the Bailiwick, particular those aged 11 and over. This was
confirmed most recently with an increase of 13% in our number of young people during 2000, we now
have a total of 783 young people (693 in January), who are led by 166 adults
(154).
Scouting in Guernsey is a success story and as popular as
ever
THE TRAINING PROGRAMME
The Movement’s training programme is progressive and very much
geared to suit a wide range of ages, experience and abilities. It is this progressive training
objective that differentiates Scouting from many other youth organisations.
Activities are about involvement and aim to encourage
responsibility, self-reliance, the acquisition of special skills and an appreciation of the world
in which we live. The list of activities is endless but may include:
camping, climbing, cycle expedititions, parascending, canoeing,
abseiling, sailing, karting, photography, music, crafts, cooking, computing, team games and much
much more.
