Scouts in Geneva
For English-speaking Boy in the Geneva, Vaud and neighbouring France area (they do not have to be English mother tongue), there are two Cub Scout Packs for boys 6 -11 and three Boy Scout Troops for boys 11-18.
The Cub Scouts are organized in Dens which comprise of 4-8 boys. Their meeting times and location are determined by the parent who runs the Dens. The Dens start with Tiger and work through Wolves, Bears, Webelos 1 and Webelos 2 and at the end of Webelos 2 they normally cross over in to Boy scouts. The boys work in the Dens on fun activities, advancements requirements, go camping and enjoy many activities together with the help of the leader (a parent) and volunteer parents. Parent involvement is very important. Most Dens are formed at the beginning of the school year and providing there is space can be joined at any time.
Boy Scouts, which is essentially boy-led but with the Scoutmaster and his assistants always involved. The Troop is divided into Patrols each with 5-8 scouts of mixed ages and ability. The Patrols are lead by an older more experienced scout but all ages work together, with the older more experienced scouts helping the less experienced ones learn and help them advance through the different ranks. They all go camping take part in numerous activities from Glacier hiking to swimming and earn merit badges. Parents are also an important part of the scouts and are needed to help with events, camping and as merit badges counselors. New boys are always welcome, and integration is easy at any point during the year.
