Our Scout Troop
Scouts is all about meeting new people, making new friends and having fun. Our Scouts enjoy playing games, learning new skills and taking part in a wide range of adventurous activities - anything from abseiling to yachting.
Our Scout Troop is for young people (male or female) usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young person can come into the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 15 years old.
Scouts meet at the HQ every Friday between 1930-2120.
If your child wants to take part in the fun of Scouting at 4th Ewell, please Contact Us.

 | Joining Scouts
We welcome new members to a no obligation free trial to make sure Scouts is for them. Once a young person has been in a section for 6-8 weeks, they will be asked if they want to be invested in order to become a full member of the Troop. This will involve learning a bit about Scouting, buying a uniform (see Scout Shop) and making a Promise.
The Scout Promise is: On My Honour I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God and to the Queen, To help other people And to keep the Scout Law |
Parents will always be invited to attend their child’s investiture, which usually takes place at either the beginning or the end of an evening meeting. When your child is invested, they will be presented with a 4th Ewell scarf and a set of badges to go on their uniform. The diagrams below show where these badges should go.

Chief Scout's Gold Award
This badge is the highest award available in the Scout Section. It is gained by completing:
If a Scout has not quite completed the requirements for the top award when they move on to the Explorer Scout Unit, they may complete them in their first few weeks in the Explorer Scout Unit. |  |
Activity badges
Activity Badges are optional, but they provide an opportunity to reward a young person who has taken part in an activity over a period of time. They should raise interest and extend a young person's skills throughout their time in Scouting. There are 69 badges available for Scouts.
In addition, there are six Staged Activity Badges that can be undertaken as a young person progresses through the sections, from Beaver to Explorer Scout.
You may find that your son/daughter has already met the requirements of some of the badges in their other extra curricular activities. Good examples are the Swimmer and Musician Badges. It's well worth having a look through, then bring in any evidence you have to show your Leader. For more information on the Activity Badges, click here.
