The Second Cove Group currently consists of one Beaver Colony, one Cub Pack and one Sea Scout Troop.
Beaver Scouts Cub Scouts
The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of our Scout Group.
Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old. There is flexibility in the age range: young people can join from age 5¾.
Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10½, who make up the second section of the Scouting family, between Beavers and Scouts. In 2016, the Cub Scout Section celebrated its Centenary.
Scouts
The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young person can come into the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 14½ years old. The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs.
A Sea Scout Troop has the same purpose and values as any other Scout Troop, and delivers the same programme, but with a nautical twist. All young people in Scouting have the opportunity to enjoy water activities, but in Sea Scouting, considerable emphasis is on these activities, and many aspects of naval and nautical traditions are incorporated.
Executive Commitee
You don't need to be a leader to help, or even have a child in the group...
The Group Executive Committee plays a vital role in the running of a Scout Group, acting as charity trustees of the Scout Group. They make decisions and carry out administrative tasks to ensure that the best quality Scouting can be delivered to young people in the Group.
