Let us give you a brief introduction to Scouting and all that we achieve at the 49th Northampton Scout Group, based at Camp Hill Community Centre at Hunsbury Park.
A brief history:
The Cub Scout Pack started in 1980 shortly followed 2 years later by the Scout Troop in February 1982.
Later in the mid-1980’s the Beaver Colony was formed, we now have introduced Squirrel Drey in November 2022.
What’s the set-up?
Here at the 49th we have a great team of Youth Leaders with over a hundred years of voluntary Scouting between us.
We have training schemes for each section, which all have adult support teams. These vary in style depending on the different age groups.
We are a uniformed Movement.
We use “Lodges” “Sixes” and “Patrols” of about 6 young people who work together, learning and supporting each other.
We involve young people in decision making as part of their development.
We set out to provide a wide variety of activities for Squirrels, Beavers, Cub Scouts and Scouts progressing through an award scheme. These activities give them basic skills to take up more adventurous and challenging activities later on.
