Groups

In Nene District there are 7 groups offering Scouting to 6-14 year old and opportunities for adults to volunteers. In each group Scouting is organised into three sections;

  • Beaver Scouts (6-8 year olds)
  • Cub Scouts (8-10.5 year olds)
  • Scouts (10.5 – 14 year olds)

We have got groups based in the following areas;

  • 2nd Nene – Ortons
  • 3rd Nene – Stanground
  • 12th Nene – Stilton and Folksworth
  • 14th Nene – West Town
  • 17th Nene – Hampton
  • 1st Yaxley – St Peters
  • 8th Peterborough – Longthorpe

Each group is managed by a Group Scout Leader (GSL) and supported by a Group Executive who are responsible for things like fundraising and the administration of the group.

Scouting for 14 – 25 year old is delivered by Districts and Counties and is organised into two sections.

  • Explorer Scouts (14 – 18 year olds) – Green on the map
  • Scout Network (18-25 year olds)

All adults (18+) have a number of different options to get involved in Scouting;

  • Leadership or Sectional Assistant
  • Scout Fellowship/Scout Active Support
  • Activity or Event Support
  • Administrative/Fundraising

All groups and sections are operated to high standards set by the Scout Association and actively managed by Nene District leadership.
