We're a thriving Scout Group in the Barnsbury area of Islington. Giving Skills for Life to young people and developing them to be respectful and active members of their local, national and international communities.
Our Sections meet as follows:
Squirrels – Tuesday, 5pm to 6pm
Beavers – Tuesday, 6pm to 7pm (6pm to 7:30pm in the summer term)
Cubs – Tuesday, 6:30pm to 8pm
Scouts – Tuesday, 6:45pm to 8:45pm
Our Sections are run by a dedicated team of adult volunteers. They all have skills to share with the young people but, most importantly, are extremely enthusiastic about creating a safe and fun environment for young people to develop.
