Scouting in the UK

1st Great Eccleston Scouts Website

                                                  Welcome to our Web site!

We have built this site not just to promote our Group, but Scouting everywhere. What is Scouting, and what can it do for you? The Scout movement is an international youth organization that welcomes members from all social backgrounds, faiths and cultures, Its aim is to help young people to develop mentally, physically and spiritually. This is achieved through an attractive training programme designed to enable the young people to work with others, gain self-confidence and take a constructive place in the community. That's the posh way of saying its for everyone who wants to enjoy themselves, whilst learning how to get on with each other.

We have 2 Cub Leaders Cubs	What's happening at scouts? Scouts
We now have 2 Cub Leaders and a number of parent helpers who keep our 22 cubs busy, but like most other groups we could do with more help. If you are looking for a rewarding pastime and want to help then why not contact us.
What's pioneering? When Lieut.-General R. S. S. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys, under the heading Camp Life chapter 4, he started by explaining that Pioneering is Knot-tying-Hut making Trees-Bridging-Measurements-Handicrafts. Pioneering   World Record	In Scouting we use the term backwoods to describe somewhere away from towns or habitation. Its more often used to describe an area of wild country usually within the woodlands of Canada or America, but could equally be used for areas like the Veldt or plains, the Australian bush or the vast forests of Europe.
