Welcome to the 8th Basingstoke Scout Group website.
The members of the group make up a tiny number of the 28 million Scouts around the world. Through the Beaver Colony, Cub Pack and Scout Troop we aim to provide fun, exciting activities for children aged 8 to 14 as well as challenge our members to do their best.
Want to join?
The group has three sections for boys and girls aged 6 to 14:
- Beavers (6-8 years) There may be a short wait for spaces to become available
- Cubs (8-10 years)
- Scouts (10-14 years)
If you (or your child) is interested in joining then please contact us.
Scouting welcomes royal volunteer
Posted on 05 Jan 2012 at 00:15 by Chris Lambert (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts) (0 user comment)
HRH The Duchess of Cambridge has become Scouting’s newest volunteer and will help at her local cub packs and beaver colonies, Clarence House has announced.
The Duchess, who joins 66,000 girls and 40,000 female leaders in Scouting, will help out at groups close to where she lives. Her Royal Highness also hopes to help with activities in other parts of the United Kingdom as opportunity arises.
The announcement comes as a great endorsement of Scouting’s commitment to allow adults to volunteer their time on a flexible basis. The Duchess will help run a variety of activities relevant to her skills and interests. This could include running games, teaching first aid or cooking on campfires.
