Adventure, Friendship, Learning and Helping

We make being part of Scouts fun at every step, in every section

Here to help your young person through their Scouting journey, no matter where it starts

Whether your young person is new to Scouting or not, whether they want to join as a Beaver, Cub, Scout or an Explorer, whether they've ever been camping, climbed a tree, piloted a narrowboat, or flown down a zip-wire, we'll make sure that they will have fun while learning skills they can use in the real world.

Our sections are open to young people aged between 5¾ and 18 years of age and run by our amazing team of volunteers. We run regular "bring a friend" sessions throughout the year, and we're so sure your young person will enjoy it, that their first two sessions are absolutely free.

We've got answers to all the questions you might have


If you're new to Scouting, you've probably got loads of questions that you would like answers to - things that range from the uniform and equipment you need, to the kinds of things you take away when we go on trips and camps. 

Our management and leadership team are always available to answer any questions you might have, but we've also got a lot of information, and answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

And, if you still don't have the answer to your questions, you can always get in touch with us.
