Welcome to 1st Princes Risborough Scout Group

We’re delighted to offer Scouting to boys and girls of all abilities and of any religion, aged from 6-18.

1st Princes Risborough Scout Group offers fun, friendship and adventure for all age groups whether they are joining the Beaver Colony, Cub Pack, Scout Troop or Explorer Scout Unit.

We have four active groups:

• Beavers for 6 – 8 years old
• Cubs for 8 – 10½ years old
• Scouts for children 10½ – 14 years old
• Lynx Explorers for children 14 – 18 years old

These all meet regularly each week in the Scout Hut and also go on excursions and camps in the surrounding area.

Each section is led by Warranted Leaders. These are volunteers who have undertaken formal training to ensure the standards of the Scout Movement are upheld and that the young people in their care receive full, diverse and activity filled programmes. You find out who the warranted leaders are for each section in the About Us section.

Besides the Warranted Leaders we have a number of people who help on a regular basis as section assistants.

All Leaders and regular helpers are required to have DBS checks before involvement with the children.

Our leaders plan activity programmes using Scout Council guidelines to promote the Aims of the Scout Association. Each activity will contribute towards a badge or an award for each child. You can learn more about these on the challenges and awards page.

We welcome everybody to come and join our adventure by helping us in whatever way you can: supporting a section meeting, using a particular skill or craft with the children, helping run the section or even the scout group itself. See the section Volunteer for more details.

So, what do Scouts do?

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing.

But, we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Essex Jamboree 2008

Every week we give almost half a million 4-25 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.
