Scouting in Marlow offers a dynamic environment for young people aged 4 to 18 to engage in a variety of activities that promote personal development, teamwork, and community involvement. The local Scout groups are structured into sections based on age, each providing tailored programs to suit the developmental stages of the members:

Squirrels (ages 4-6): The newest section in Scouting, Squirrels engage in playful activities that foster curiosity and early social skills.

Beavers (ages 6-8): Young members participate in games, crafts, and outdoor adventures, encouraging creativity and cooperation.

Cubs (ages 8-10): Cubs take part in more challenging activities, including camping, hiking, and learning practical skills, promoting independence and teamwork.

Scouts (ages 10-14): Scouts engage in diverse experiences such as expeditions, community service, and leadership opportunities, building resilience and responsibility.

Explorers (ages 14-18): Older members plan and execute their own activities, including international trips and advanced skill development, preparing them for future challenges.
