Scouts – Viper Troop
Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Our Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.

- Engage in outdoor activities like camping, hiking, orienteering, and nature exploration promoting teamwork, self-reliance, and appreciation for the environment.
- Learn a wide range of practical skills, including knot tying, first aid, cooking, and survival techniques fostering independence and the ability to handle various situations.
- Participate in community service projects to give back to our communities and to value the importance of helping others.
- Develop leadership skills and mentor younger members.
- Earn badges by demonstrating learning or experience in specific skills and knowledge areas.
- Develop strong moral and ethical values, encouraging each other to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave and clean.
- Work together as part of a troop to develop teamwork with others.
- Understand their role as responsible citizens and are aware of global issues and cultures.
- Face challenges and experiences in scouting, using these to grow in confidence and develop a sense of responsibility for their actions and decisions.
