Welcome
Bear Grylls is appointed as the new Chief Scout
Welcome from the GSL
Welcome to the 1st Burghfield and Sulhamstead Scout Group. If you are a visitor to our group, I hope you enjoy browsing through our website and learning more about what we get up to! If you are a parent or member of our group, you will also find lots of useful information and reports within our parents' section.
As a group we are hugely proud of our heritage and our achievements particularly in recent years. The growth in our numbers from less than 50 a few years ago to nearly 250 today shows that we are doing something right. We are the largest scout group in Berkshire and one of the largest in the Country.
We are a family friendly group and when young people join us, so do
their families. We aim to include parents in as much as possible whether
its helping out at weekly meetings, coming along to our annual family
camp or just helping out with a bit of DIY at our Headquarters. Many of
our adult leaders are also parents!
We aim to make life an adventure for all of our members. If you think
you would like to join that adventure, why not get in touch via the
contacts tab at the top of this page.
