Find your place.
Six sections, ages 4 to 25. Young people move up as they grow and take on more each time. Not every Group runs every section, so ages are a guide.
Ages 4–6
First adventures, and making friends close to home.
Ages 6–8
Games, making things, and a first night away.
Ages 8–10½
Camping and cooking, and a say in what they do.
Ages 10½–14
Bigger challenges, and their own programme to run.
Ages 14–18
Expeditions, DofE, and leading the younger sections.
Ages 18–25
Adventure on their own terms, and a way to give back.
Skills for life, made in Newcastle.
Your Group is local. A hall in your part of the city, the same faces every week, run by volunteers who live round the corner — and a young person who is known there by name.
It is also one of more than twenty Groups across Newcastle. That is what the district is: the camps, competitions and days out no single Group could put on alone, where young people meet people from the other side of the city and volunteers turn out to have a much bigger team behind them than the four of them in the hall on a Tuesday.

Volunteer with us
You don't need to have been a Scout. Give the time you actually have — weekly, occasionally, or behind the scenes — and we'll work out where it fits.

Be the adult who makes it possible.
There is a place here for adults too. You don't need to have been a Scout, and you give the time you actually have. It tends to work both ways — you make Scouts happen for young people, and you end up part of a team yourself.
