Scouting is a remarkable movement that brings amazing benefits and enjoyment to everyone involved – children, leaders, parents and everyone involved with the running of the group.
Through adventure, we help our scouts develop team-work skills, friendships, confidence, independence, responsibility and a ‘can do’ attitude to help prepare them for the wider world.
Everyone in our group takes part in many adventures & activities at weekly evening meetings, weekend activities in the term, and camping (for the cubs and scouts).
Who is Scouting for? EVERYONE!
Our group runs Beavers (6-8yrs), Cubs (8-10½yrs) and Scouts (10½-14½yrs). We have also have “Young Leaders” (14½-18yrs) and our adult leaders. Some people think Scouts is just for boys – it’s not – we have loads of girls too!
What do Scouts think of Scouting? IT’S AWESOME!
“Scouts is my 20 out of 10 activity – it’s the highlight of my week”, Matthew, Scout
How much does it cost? NOT MUCH!
Beavers is £25 per term, Cubs is £35 per term and Scouts is £45 per term which covers weekly meetings, insurance, membership etc. Camps are cost extra, and the cost depends on the activities – typically a weekend camp costs £50-100.
Who runs Scouting? VOLUNTEERS!
Everyone in our group is a volunteer, which is why we can provide such great value activities. All our leaders have undergone extensive training and DBS checks, and when we provide “adventurous activities” we will either use externally qualified people, or our own leaders with appropriate qualifications.
Where are we? KEW – in the heart of the village!
Our weekly meetings are held at our headquarters in Kew village where we have been since 1928. Our weekend camps are typically within an hour of Richmond, and we take advantage of our leafy location wherever possible.
