When can my child join Scouting in Todmorden?
Starting age for Beavers is usually 6 however there is some flexibility in the age range and sometimes young people can join from as young as 5 ¾ . Looking ahead, children can join Cubs from around the age of 8 and Scouts from 10 ½ . Explorers starts at 14 and runs until they are 18. After Explorers, young adults move to Scout Network which allows them to participate in the Scout programme until they are 25.
However, the Joining List is not strictly linear, several factors will be taken into consideration to ensure that the young person gets a quality time in scouting – which may mean if your child gets close to the upper age range for their current section, they maybe bumped to the next sections waiting list. We currently operate waiting lists for all our sections.
As a voluntary organisation, sometimes we may not have the capacity or space to offer your child a place immediately. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Start your child’s adventure as a member of our Scouts group by emailing join@todscouts.uk! Please include your child’s full name and date of birth AND your contact info, phone number, email and home address.
