Morningside Scouts

Our programmes are flexible with a wide range of activities adapted of the needs of the young people in our local community. Our activities are based on the interests of the young people with an emphasis on useful skills and service to others. Many activities make use of the outdoors theme that have a spirit of adventure and a challenge. Considering the problems faced by young people today, Scouting has a far greater application than ever before.

Information on group structure.

Scouts everywhere:

• Have a firm commitment to a code of living (the Law and Promise)
• Learn by doing;
• Work together in small groups under their own (youth) leadership with adult assistance;
• Participate in progressive and stimulating programmes of varied activities;
• Have a sense of service to the community.

The adult contribution to Scouting means many things to many people, but above all it is about service to young people by providing them with a tried and tested program of activities designed to train them to cope with the world as responsible and valuable citizens.
