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 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 in all three sections:
- 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).
