Coupar Angus News and Information

Scouts: Cubs and Beavers

The Coupar Angus scout groups (Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts) closed at the end of 2019. If anyone would like to restart them, they should contact the Scout committee in Perth - http://www.pkscouts.org/about/district-team/. However the following information is still relevant. 

Beaver Scouts

Beavers are our youngest members. They enjoy all that Scouting has to offer; being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout Sleepover with their friends.

The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old. 

Cub Scouts

During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements. 

The Cub Pack is the second section of the Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10½. 

Scouts, Explorers and the Scout Network

There are also sections for older children and young adults aged up to 18, although currently the nearest location for these is Blairgowrie.

Adult volunteers needed

Adult volunteers support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly with young people, to helping manage a Group, to being a charity Trustee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by providing opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship.
​
Our award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
