Welcome to Scouts!
The Scout section is open to girls and boys aged 10½ – 14. Our Scout Troop meet on Tuesday evenings from 7 – 9pm in Edgware. Subs is £30 per term (three terms per year), whilst events often have additional costs.
About Scouts
This age section is all about mastering new skills and trying new things. Get set to make new friends, have fun and go on adventures. Scouts is also about exploring the world around us, helping others and making a difference in our community. Still not sure? Come and try a few free taster sessions with us!
Weekly sessions
Our Tuesday meetings consist of a mix of teambuilding games and activities, ranging from cooking and crafts, to fire lighting and film making. In line with Youthshape Scouting, our programme takes inspiration from our young people – the kind of skills they want to master, the badges they want to earn and the activities they want to try out.
Our events
Outside of Tuesdays we run a variety of events across the year, including hikes, day trips and taking part in events with other troops. However, it’s the camps which are often the highlight of scouting. We aim to offer a weekend camp in autumn and winter, as well as a four day Narrowboat Camp over Easter, and a week away in summer. These give young people the chance to spend time outdoors with their friends, learn new skills, and explore another part of the country.
Join us!
As of February 2025 we have a few spaces available in our Troop. If your child would like to join, please contact Roni here. Alternatively, if they are not yet 10½ but would like to join in the future, please join our waiting list here. Once they are old enough and a space becomes available, we will be in touch.
Address
We are based at The Scout & Guide Centre, Rectory Lane, Edgware, London, HA8 7LG – you can open on Google Maps here. This is a four minute walk from Edgware Station. Occasionally we will meet at other local venues for specific activities.
“My daughter loves scouts group in 2nd Edgware. She wouldn’t miss a meeting, she is having so much fun there and learns so much. The leaders are just the most kind, responsible, genuine and funny people ever. I have heard so many funny stories from my daughter about her time in the group. The highlight of the year is a camping trip of course, looking forward to it next summer!!!”
