A place to belong

We're Scouts and everyone's welcome here. We're a community of kindness where fun and friendship run through everything, and where young people gain skills for life.

Welcome to 1st Cheltenham

We're one of the most active Scout Groups in Cheltenham, based in Highbury and part of Gloucestershire Scouts. Every week, young people aged 4 to 14 join us for fun, friendship and adventure. It's a place to belong, where they gain skills for life.

We're a popular group, so places are offered from our waiting list. Join it early and we'll be in touch when a space opens up.
