Plus every Scout will have the chance within the Scouts to go and do Abseiling and Climbing, Canoeing, Archery, Shooting, Orienteering and much much more. Scouts wear a full uniform . Scouting is a uniformed organisation and the uniform tells everyone that you are a Scout. For instance, people can tell what group you belong to by looking at the colour of your scarf. The exact details differ from troop to troop.
Scouts can gain a wide range of badges and awards.
There are the Progressive training Scout Awards . These form the main part of the scouting programme and teach you all the basic skills that a good scout needs. You work your way through each badge in turn, from the Membership Award, through the Scout Award, Pathfinder Award and Explorer Award, up to the Chief Scouts Challenge. There are about 100 Proficiency Badges that you can complete at any time while you are a Scout. These cover everything you could possibly be interested in.
