Each Scout Troop consists of small units called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with many different highlights. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.

Rock climbing, abseiling, archery, camping and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.
