Meeting Nights and Activities
Meeting Nights and Activities
At Apollo Scouts, we offer an active, year-round programme packed with outdoor adventure, traditional Scouting skills,and practical life experiences.
Our philosophy centres on participation and personal effort rather than meeting rigid standards. Scouts build confidence, discover their abilities, learn fitness and teamwork, and earn Challenge Awards and Activity Badges along the way.
Meeting Details
Day & Time: Mondays, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM (year-round)
Location: 1st Wendover Scout HQ
Weather Note: We spend around half our time outdoors in all seasons, so we always come prepared for the elements!
What We Do
Led by a skilled volunteer leadership team, our weekly meetings cover a balance of adventure, practical skills, and fun:
Outdoor Pursuits: Archery, climbing, rifle shooting, kayaking, sailing, cycling, swimming, and hiking.
Survival & Practical Skills: Wilderness survival, fire lighting, outdoor cooking, campcraft, knot-tying, DIY, and first aid.
Games & Teamwork: High-energy wide games, team challenges, and creative projects.
Camps & Special Events
Beyond weekly meetings, Scouts can look forward to weekend trips and seasonal events throughout the year, including:
Escape & Evasion night challenges
Seasonal weekend camps
Annual Summer Camp (such as our popular Wye Valley expedition)
Earning Badges
Badges are at the heart of the Scouting journey! From trying a brand-new activity to mastering a practical skill or completing a outdoor challenge, Scouts earn badges by taking part, giving their best effort, and pushing their boundaries.
Whether it's achieving Activity Badges in navigation, athletics, or coding, or earning top awards like the Chief Scout's Award, every badge represents a personal achievement, real-world skills, and unforgettable memories.

Uniform and Badges
Uniform and Badges
Scouts wear a teal green Shirt. Like the rest of 1st Wendover we have a yellow and brown neck scarf (necker) and we have lots of badges.
Some of the badges link us to 1st Wendover and the Scouts generally whilst others we are awarded as we complete activities, adventures, challenges and to show our commitment.
The picture shows you where the different badges are located on our uniform.
As a parent you can find out more about badges and how to get them by visiting Scout Badges
