Scouts
Being a Scout at 12th Andover (West) is all about taking on bigger adventures, building confidence, and discovering what you’re capable of. Our Scouts, usually aged 10½ to 14, get stuck into a huge mix of activities – from camping, cooking and survival skills to climbing, hiking, abseiling and plenty of other challenges that keep things exciting. It’s all about having a go, learning by doing, and enjoying the journey rather than chasing perfection.
As Scouts grow, they start to take the lead more, work as a team, and push themselves in ways that help them understand their strengths. They can earn Challenge Awards and Activity Badges along the way, becoming more independent, resilient, and ready for whatever comes next. With a balanced programme and lots of time outdoors, our Scouts get the chance to explore, think for themselves, and shape their own adventures.
