We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

The Scout Association offers fun and everyday adventure to 500,000 young people between the ages of 4 and 25 across the United Kingdom.

Welcome to 1st Fetcham

Our main goal is to help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international communities.

Scouting is open to all young people aged 4 to 25 of every faith and background. There are also plenty of opportunities for adults to become involved as Leaders, Assistants or Administrators.Scouting works well when young people enjoy learning by working in partnership with adults.
