What do Scouts do?
At 1st Middleton we work hard to provide Scouting's aim of promoting:
"...the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,' when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves."
(The Scout Association)
We do this by getting outdoors whenever we can, either on camps and hikes or, during the Summer months, by holding our weekly meetings at Ashworth Valley campsite. Whatever the time of year, wherever we are, we play games, work at team building activities, work on craft projects, cook, carve... in fact almost anything that gives our Scouts the opportunity to push themselves further, learn new things and gain confidence in their own abilities.

Code of Conduct
We want to encourage Scouts to be responsible for their behaviour and make sure that while they are having fun we ensure everyone is kept safe and happy. It is traditional for Scout Troops to formulate their own Code of Conduct, a system of rules that they themselves come up with. We reviewed our Code of Conduct at the start of the Autumn term and this is what the Scouts came up with:
· Be open to trying new things and have fun doing them
· Be respectful to everybody
· Listen to leaders
· Don’t be silly or stupid at meetings
· Be sensible - Don’t put danger or risk in other people’s hands
· Make sure a parent/guardian is there before we leave
· Use common sense, intelligence and skills wisely
· Always try our best
· Wear the right uniform every week
· We are at scouts to have fun – go out there, see what we can achieve and more!
· We are part of the troop – so contribute ideas towards it
· On camp, eat a variety and try new things, making positive comments about the food we are given
· We are given a body – look after it so exercise as much as possible and join in
· Most importantly – Be enthusiastic, Enjoy Ourselves and Have Fun!
· We also believe in the truth – We would always prefer a Scout to accept responsibility for any inappropriate behaviour and to accept their sanctions accordingly.
