...are you ready?
This website is about scouting in the Berkhamsted and Tring area. We're proud of the opportunities we give over 700 young people from 6 to 25 and beyond. We provide the challenge, lay on the activities and the adventure and the fun follow. Our scouts grow in confidence, learn new skills, stretch themselves and fulfil more of their potential. Read on if you'd like to be part of our growing everyday adventures.
Our Adventures
A Beaver Scout waking up after a sleepover, a Cub overcoming her fear of heights by completing her first abseil, a Scout winning an award in a cooking competiion, an Explorer leading an overnight hike in the mountains of Wales - this is our way of life.

We do all this and much more - join us!!.
  • "Frosties", one of our annual district scout camps, with challenges from orienteering to "van climbing!" (yes - over a real van!).
  • Our raft race is one of the highlights of our annual water activities. Starting with a pile of barrells, planks of wood and ball of string and ending with wet and wild races at Great Moor lake.
  • We have loads of indoor activities too. The high standard at the district heats for the Scout cooking competition would make Jamie very proud.
  • In 2011 we headed back to Lochearnhead in Scotland for a camp (held every four years) that can truly claim to be life-changing. Adventure, friendship and fun on a grand scale.
  • We have access to really amazing facilities and from a young age everyone joins in to run them - cooking and even cleaning can be fun (seriously!!)
  • Scouting grew by an amazing 6.8% in our District last year. We now have over 150 on our waiting list. Help us to help them join our adventure. CLICK HERE
