What it’s like
Weekly Scouts sections in Cardiff taking kids from Beavers at 6 through to Scouts at 14.
This is a straightforward local Scout group, split into three sections by age. Beavers covers 6 to 8 year olds, Cubs takes over from 8 to 10 and a half, and Scouts runs from there up to 14. Each section has its own crowd and its own pace, so a six-year-old isn't sat next to a fourteen-year-old doing the same activity.
What they're actually working on, based on what the group lists, is skills for life rather than a single hobby. That's a wide brief, and it means the content shifts as a child moves up through the sections, building toward the sort of things that matter later on: school, college, job interviews.
There's no age below 6, so it's not one for a toddler tagging along with an older sibling. If you've got a child moving from Beavers to Cubs to Scouts, the group is built so they progress through all three without having to find a new one every couple of years.

Plan your visit
What age can my child join?
Beavers starts at 6. From there it's Cubs at 8 to 10 and a half, then Scouts up to 14.
Will my child stay in the same group as they get older?
Yes, they move up through the three sections as they hit each age, so there's no need to switch groups.
What do the sessions actually involve?
The group describes it as learning skills for life, covering things like school, college, university and job interviews alongside the usual Scout challenges.
Is this just for younger kids?
It runs right up to 14 through the Scout section, so it covers primary age into the early teens.
