Scouting at 1st Parkstone

Step into the adventure and discover what you’re capable of!

Scouts is where young people aged 10½ to 14 years build confidence, resilience and a real spirit of adventure, before taking the next step on their journey as Explorer Scouts.

At 1st Parkstone, we believe Scouts should be fun, inclusive and full of memorable experiences. Our programme is packed with action – everything from traditional skills like camping, survival and cooking outdoors, to bigger adventures like caving, expeditions, archery, shooting and kayaking.

As an Air Scout unit, we also bring something a little different, with activities linked to aviation and flight – adding an extra layer of excitement you won’t find everywhere else.
