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.
Vacancies for 6-14 year olds
The group currently has spaces for boys and girls aged 6 to 14 years:
- Beavers (6-8 years)
- Cubs (8-10 years)
- Scouts (10-14 years)
If you (or your child) is interested in joining then please contact Gill Craft (Group Scout Leader).
8th Win District Quiz

Posted on 09 Dec 2009 at 22:51 by Chris Lambert (Miscellaneous) (0 user comment)
The group's leaders have again shown that they know lots of useless information by winning the District Quiz 2009. The winning team were presented with the Graham Viner Trophy along with pencils, notebooks and other exciting prizes for winning individual rounds.
We'll be back to try to retain our title in 2010.

This week the Den was transformed into a cave for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to explore. See what they got up to.
Bag Packing at ASDA
Posted on 17 Nov 2009 at 13:16 by Chris Lambert (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts)
Basingstoke Sea Scouts have invited us to take part in a Bag Packing event at ASDA on Saturday 12th December. This is an excellent opportunity to raise funds for the group and directly reduce activity costs for those that take part.
We need help from all Cubs and Scouts plus parents from all three sections so that we raise as much as possible. Find out more about the day.
