1st Shelford & East Bridgford Scout Troop

 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers - #skillsforlife

Welcome...

Our Group consists of one Beaver Colony, a Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit. All sections meet in the recently acquired ex-WI Hut, now renamed Scout HQ, which is situated on Butt Close (Butt Field) with footpath access off Main Street, and Kneeton Road, East Bridgford.. All group members that progress to the Explorer Unit are more than welcome to help out as “Young Leaders” with any of the other sections. The Group can always benefit from assistance, either as a Leader, helper or a member of the Group’s Executive or even as occasional specialist skills instructor, passing on skills or hobbies. If you would like to join our Group, or help in any capacity, please contact us.
