There is an associated Explorer unit that meets at Sinclair Hall.
The Group is based at Sinclair Hall, Park Road and currently caters for some 160 boys and girls with an active waiting list.
The Group is the largest in Cotswold Edge District and provides action and adventure for all ages between 5 and 14.
Group activities over the past year have included:-
- Ton of Fun Camp celebrating the Scout Centenary
- St Georges Day Parade
- Summer Fun Day
- Climbing Wall
- Beaver Activities

Membership
Although there is a waiting list for all Sections it is possible to get a VIP Pass to the front of the queue by parents/guardians joining as Sectional Assistants. This does not necessarily have to be in the same Section as the youngster. All Sections from time to time are threatened with closure because of the lack of adult volunteer help and this is one way in which we have been successful in recruiting the required assistance and maintaining the level of Scouting we currently offer.
