Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts |
The Church has a long tradition of sponsoring Scouts and fully supports the aims and ideals of the Scout Association, which are "to promote the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people so that they play a constructive role in society".
Beaver, Cub and Scout meetings are run for boys and girls from 6 years to 14 years. Membership is open to anyone of the relevant age, whether connected with the Church or not.
The District Explorer Scouts section is open to young people between the ages of 14 and 18.
Every encouragement is given to the members to attend the regular Family Services and for their families to join them.
The Church tries to provide adult leadership from members of the Church and congregation, and adults willing to become uniformed leaders or helpers are particularly needed.
Meetings are generally held in the Church Hall, except the Explorer Scouts who meet at 111 Walsworth Road, next to the Church.
