About Us

Welcome to the 1st Bistre Scout Group family! Tucked away in the heart of Buckley, we are a lively and diverse hub of adventure, friendship, and lifelong learning. At 1st Bistre, our commitment goes beyond just having fun. We seek to unlock potential and foster personal growth in every scout who walks through our doors.

With four dynamic sections – Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and our Explorer unit, Fusion, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and engaging environment for children and young adults from ages 4 to 18. Each section is designed to challenge and inspire, building confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of community along the way. From the first adventurous steps of our Beavers to the ambitious projects and challenges tackled by our Explorer unit, the journey through 1st Bistre Scout Group is a journey of growth, discovery, and empowerment.

Rooted in the rich tradition of the Scout movement, we proudly don our uniforms as a symbol of our unity and commitment to the Scouts’ principles. It signifies our shared dedication to fostering an environment of inclusivity, equality, and mutual respect.

And who makes all this possible? It’s our amazing team of adult volunteers, the unsung heroes of our group. These are individuals from all walks of life who generously donate their time and energy to guiding our young scouts, delivering exciting programmes and ensuring every child and young adult has a rewarding and enjoyable Scouting experience.

But we’re not just about Scouting. 1st Bistre is a family and a home away from home. We believe in the power of community and in giving back to the place that has given us so much. We organise local initiatives, collaborate with local organisations and aim to be a positive force in Buckley.

Join us at 1st Bistre Scout Group and let’s embark on this incredible journey together. Whether you’re a parent considering Scouts for your child, or someone keen to volunteer, there’s a place for you in our Scouting family.

Together, let’s make a difference, one Scout at a time.
