Cubs and Scouts

At PGL we have been providing activities for young people between the ages of 7 and 17 for more than 50 years. Our experience enables us to tailor our programmes to meet the requirements of groups of different ages.

We always talk to you, the Group Leader, when planning your activity programme; whether it's a day camp at one of our UK centres or a 9 day watersports trip in the South of France; we ensure you get the best!

Many of our activities contain the elements required for attaining or working towards badges awarded by the Scout Association. Below you will find a few examples of how a PGL activity trip can contribute.
