FAQ
Who is Scouting for?
Scouting is for boys and girls aged 4 to 18 with different sections based on age. It is also an opportunity for adult volunteers to run activities, teach new skills and make a positive difference to young people’s lives – if you’re a parent, that could be you!
What uniform is required and where do I sew badges?
Uniform requirements and badge placement guidance can be found on the page for the section your young person is in/qualifies for.
Are subs paid all year round?
Yes, we ask that you set up your subs via OSM (Online Scout Manager) as a monthly direct debit. We have worked out the cost of your young person being with us as a yearly amount and spread that across 12 months to make manageable payments.
What do you do with photos of my young person?
We only photograph your young person if you grant permission on OSM (Online Scout Manager). Only Leaders take photos, which are shared on our private Facebook group and saved in our online Shared Area to create leaving certificates. Photos are deleted from Leaders' devices after uploading. We will contact you directly before using any photos for wider promotion.
Do you provide DofE?
Yes, DofE is a core part of our programme. We do everything from Bronze to Gold. But more importantly these D of E’s help toward our Scout Top Awards. These are arguably even better than DofE!!
About Squirrels
Squirrels is for children aged 4 to 6. Our Drey is called Brighton Hill Somers Squirrel Drey and we have 16 children at most times. We learn about the world and gain new skills through fun activities such as scavenger hunts, navigating, map reading, first aid, gardening, cooking and crafts. We try to hold our activities outside (if possible) and we like to go on local visits. We work towards badges and aim to give the children some challenge in an age appropriate way.
The Programme
The programme of weekly activities we run at Squirrels on a Monday is fun, engaging and adventurous! We help our Squirrels achieve a variety of badges across their two years with us with the ultimate goal of receiving their Chief Scout’s Acorn Award! We have fun being brilliant builders, we do exciting experiments, we are super chefs, we celebrate different festivals and cultures across the world and we learn LOADS of great skills in the process.

Uniform and Badges
The uniform consists of a red sweatshirt worn with the black and white Brighton Hill Scout Group necker.
Uniform can be purchased at the Scout Shop (linked in the footer), although we recommend liaising with the section leaders about investiture etc. beforehand.
