Scouting, at all levels, is a uniformed organisation which has an ethos of discipline,
respect for others and them selves. Scouting does this through a structured and
progressive programme of training, tries to encourage youngsters to be self reliant,
confident
in their abilities and better fitted for adult life.
Scouting at Horbury starts from the age of 6 years old up to 18 years old.
All the sections meet in our own headquarters at Horbury Bridge.
