Cubs
Cubs are young people usually aged between eight and ten and a half years old. They come along to our Cub Pack wanting fun, adventure and friendship. With opportunities to go on camps, explore the outdoors, play games and try new things, there's rarely a dull moment! For more information, go to the Cub page.

Scouts
Scouting at all ages is for both boys and girls. Scouts are aged between 10 and a half and 14 years. Scouts are young people who want to make friends and develop widening interests in ways that are both educational and fun. Perfect if you want a break from the usual after-school routine of homework, games and watching television. For more information, go to the Scout page.

Bolton North Explorers
Explorers are young people, usually aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. Explorers get the chance to work with others in the District, not just their Unit. By doing this, they will get the chance to do many more activities, not just the ones the Unit organises. For more information, go to the Explorers page.

Adults
From the age of 18, adults (including Network members) can help out in scouting. Volunteer roles are many and varied. For example, adults can become warranted leaders, sectional assistants, occasional helpers, activities instructors, group fellowship members (such as joining our Supporters' Council), or have a district or county role including treasurers and secretarial posts. This is only a small list, and if you have a special skill or area of interest, there is a good chance a role can be made up to suit you! For more information, go to the Adults page.
