Preparing Young People for Life's Greatest Adventures

Scouting is about far more than camping and badges. It's about preparing young people for life, giving them the confidence, resilience and practical skills they'll carry with them long after they leave our Troop.

Scout Stories

Challenge, growth and community

Our Scout section is engaging, fun and supportive, with one clear aim, to bring out the very best in every young person. We encourage every Scout to challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zone and discover that they're capable of far more than they ever imagined.

Our varied programme includes camping, hiking, map reading, pioneering, paracording, cooking, fundraising and teamwork, balanced with regular games and challenges that make every meeting something to look forward to.

Scouts enjoy regular camps, adventurous activities and competitions, including Goldbitz, while working towards a wide range of badges and awards. We also recognise effort, teamwork and commitment through our Scout of the Month, Scout of the Year, Patrol of the Year and Scout Points awards, celebrating not just achievement, but personal growth.

What truly makes our Troop special is the community we've built. We celebrate birthdays, recognise achievements outside of Scouting and encourage kindness, respect and compassion towards one another. Every Scout knows they're part of a team where they'll be supported, encouraged and valued. We even finish every summer term with our famous Scouts versus Leaders water fight, although somehow the Scouts always manage to come out on top!

Challenge, growth and community

Since our current leadership team took over, we've seen remarkable growth in confidence, resilience and engagement across the Troop. Parents regularly tell us how much their children enjoy Scouts and how much they've grown as individuals. We're also incredibly proud to have finished 15th out of more than 30 teams in our very first Goldbitz competition, and we're determined to keep climbing the leaderboard in the years ahead.

If you're looking for an activity that's exciting, inclusive and genuinely focused on developing skills for life, 3rd Newhaven Scouts is ready to welcome your family.
