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

Welcome to 1st Hadleigh Scout Group

Based in Hadleigh, Essex (not to be confused with Hadleigh, Suffolk) we are part of the Castle Point Scout District. Every week over 60 young people aged 6-14 from Hadleigh and surrounding areas join us to experience fun & adventure and take part in our high quality Scouting programme.

The Group has grown steadily in all sections over the last few years, following the efforts and hard work of our Leadership team, fully supportive Group Exec and our Section Leaders.

Our thriving and active Scout Group has a dedicated leadership team who produce exciting and dynamic programmes for young people, teaching life skills as well enjoying much fun & games along the way! We partake in regular meetings, camping trips and day activities.

It’s exciting being involved with our group and we believe that through everyday adventure, young people can regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives and allow them to make lifelong friends
