What is St Margaret’s Scout Group?

What do young people do at Scouts?
Every week is different! Activities can include games, crafts, cooking, outdoor activities, pioneering, teamwork challenges, camping, badge work, problem-solving, community activities and plenty of adventures. We aim to give young people opportunities to try things they may not get the chance to do elsewhere.
