Welcome to…

Our Group is a popular Group in the heart of Ashfield, providing skills for life for young people aged 4 to 18 and beyond. 

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing.

But, we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Every week 5th Sutton in Ashfield Scout Group we give over one hundred 4-18 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.

Sign up to help your young person discover their ‘thing’: from archery to coding to performance art and everything in between.
