Welcome to Lisburn And
District Scouts
Hi and a very warm welcome
to the website of Lisburn and District Scouts. Whether you are a
parent seeking information on one of our 15 local Scout Groups, maybe interested in lending a hand in your local Scout Group, a current member of any our Groups or one of our many
leaders, I hope you find what you need.
What is scouting? The purpose of Scouting is to
promote the development of young people in achieving their full
physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as
individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local,
national and international communities.
|
| This is done by placing the
young person in a section of Scouting relevant to his or her age. In
each section we use a structured programme of games and learning
activities and adventurers to enable each young person to grow.
Scouting’s great strength lies in its grassroots. It is locally that
Scouts are best able to identify and work directly with those young
people most in need. |
 |
| Scouting offers bridges to
a world of social involvement and inclusion through education and
activity. |
|
|
Our
method for giving young people the opportunity to learn by doing is
called the Programme. The Programme is a continuous progression of
training, activities and awards that covers everything that young
people do in Scouting from the age of 4 to 18.
|
| We are currently active in 211 countries and
territories with a global membership of over 28 million, with two
thirds of the international membership
in developing countries. Within our District there are 15 active
Groups stretching from Maghaberry Village to Seymour Hill through Annahilt, Hilden, Lambeg, Hillsborough, Ballymacash, Hillhall, Derriaghy, Old Warren, Central Lisburn and in Beechlawn, Friends and Wallace Schools. Each group offers a fantastic range of activities and events for young people from ages 4-18. |
