9th Walton (Viscount) Air Scouts

Growing in confidence and spreading their wings.

Our scouts learn a massive range of skills on land, on water and in the sky. Along the way they learn about friendship, teamwork and leadership.

Our talented and dedicated scout leaders operate a rolling three year programme of activities with the goal of propelling every scout to the Chief Scouts Gold award, the highest award for the Scout section.
