Pro-Badge is an Activity Badge Training Scheme, which uses the resources of the Solent Scout Training Centre at Lyons Copse, to the best advantage of the Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Scout Leaders. The scheme provides training for badges that require predominantly outdoor Scouting activity or natural resources.
You can book your Cubs and Scouts in to weekend camps over the coming months to give them a chance to earn some of the outdoor-based badges.
Leaflets for the forthcoming Pro-Badge season are now available on the ProBadge website, please click here for the Cub Scout leaflet, and here for the Scout version. Please feel free to pass onto other Cubs, Scouts and Leaders.
This year we will also be running a Pioneer course for Explorer Scouts, this will run on our November weekend. Please note that Explorers will have to camp as we do not have indoor accommodation for them.
To book on any courses please contact via the website links or email me direct.
Thank You

The last weekend of the Pro-Badge Training Scheme current season took place last weekend. We ran the Chef and Backwoods Cooking badges for Cub Scouts and the Survival Skills and Camper badges for Scouts. The weekend was wet at times but all had a good time.
In celebration of Saint George, the Patron Saint of The Scout Association, Southampton City Scouts across the district, joined by those from the Itchen South and Itchen North districts, took part in a parade and service on the afternoon of 17th April, St George’s Day.
The Parade took place in The Guildhall Square and in addition to the Mayor it was attended by over 700 Young People, Leaders, parents and members of the public.
We would like to pass on a big thank you to everyone who attended the St George’s Day parade this year.
Since its foundation in 1986, Hampshire Scout Expeditions (HSX) have successfully run over 20 international expeditions for Hampshire Scouts across the globe. In 2017 they’ll be breaking new ground and heading to the Patagonian Andes!
Patagonia is a sparsely populated region located at the southern tip of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. The region comprises the southern section of the Andes, characterised by granite pillars, deserts, steppes and grasslands.
The expedition will take place over the course of six weeks, in the winter of 2017, with the expedition team likely to leave in late November 2017, returning in early January 2018. The trip will comprise of three principle elements; a community development project working with the locals; a trek around the Torres del Paine National Park and climbing in the Andean mountains; and to finish, a series of cultural tours and adventurous activities. Participants will experience Chile’s unique culture, incredible sights, stunning scenery and fascinating history.
With a range of organised activities, a beautiful location and a great change to network, socialise and bring whole groups together, H0018 is one for the diary!
We wish to take the best from the 2007 ‘H007’ and 2014 ‘H0014’ camps and combining this with Dorset Scouts’ fantastic campsite at Buddens near Wareham.
We would like everyone involved in Hampshire and beyond to celebrate Scouting, as a group, section, or unit with a fantastic week of activities and a special day midweek, called “A Monster’s Day out!”, for day visitors to join us.
