The
Devonport Scout troop was first started in 1908 and on 14th
October 1909, there was sufficient demand to be be able to start
up a second troop. By 1912, there were five Scout Troops at Devonport, including a Troop of Girl Peace Scouts and a Sea Scout Troop !
Scouts are organised into
Patrols and run the meetings themselves, which include activities
such as pioneering, orienteering, map-reading, First Aid, campcraft,
survival, backwoodsmanship, hiking & tramping, , conservation,
acting & performance, public service and community endeavours.
Of course, the primary activities for scouts like Camps, Jamborees,
Hiking Trips etc take place on weekends and during the holidays.
