We welcome young people ages from 5¾-14yrs to join our programs.

Our Beaver Section caters for ages 5¾ - 8yrs

Our Cub Section caters for ages 8 - 10-10½yrs

and our Scout Section for those 10-10½ - 14yrs

We offer a wide range of activities including camping, hiking, community service, and badgework projects.

Safety is our top priority, and we have trained leaders and safety protocols in place for all activities. All our Leaders have a personal learning plan and undertake mandatory training modules on safeguarding, first aid, GDPR and role specifice modules. We ensure that they are fully DBS checked by our organisation to work with young people.

All Leaders have to follow Scout codes of conduct - you can see a copy of these on our Codes of Conduct Page.

The Scout Association is committed to being inclusive of all young people, regardless of ability or disability and has a clear Equal Opportunities Policy. There is flexibility within Scouting and all Scout groups should make reasonable adjustments wherever possible to support the inclusion of young people with disabilities or additional needs.

Scouting is delivered by adult volunteers and is not a statutory provision (such as the education system, for example); however we endorse systems of supporting our volunteers with inclusion. We encourage local volunteers to meet with the parents/carers of the young person to discuss their individual needs and plan support strategies. In some locations, there are also volunteers specialising in supporting inclusion. However, despite this and the best efforts of our volunteers, there may be situations where a particular Group does not have the capacity or resources to meet the needs of a young person or make the reasonable adjustments necessary. In such instances, local volunteers can work with the parents/carers, to find an alternative Group.

You can contact us at theadminteam@1stgreatwyrley.co.uk who can provide information and put you in touch with our section leaders, They will discuss your needs and help find out about other local groups if we cannot cater for you. If further support or information is required, you can contact the Diversity and Inclusion team at diversity.inclusion@scouts.org.uk

The Scout Association is an inclusive and values-based Movement. Membership is open to young people and adults of all faiths and beliefs, including the absence of an affirmed faith, humanists or atheists, who share our values. Our values are integrity, respect, care, belief and cooperation. A key element of the programme is spiritual development and exploring different faiths, beliefs and attitudes. There are a range of variations of the Promise (a commitment made by all members), to account for different age ranges, faith and beliefs and nationalities (including those who are stateless).
