Today marks World Scout Day, an opportune occasion for scarf production. Thanks to our dedicated leaders, committee members, and parents who generously volunteer their time to sew these scarves. Upon a child's investment in our group, they are presented with a scarf, which they wear with pride.

Hi Scout members and families,

We need your help!

We are holding a Working Bee on Saturday, 1 August, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and we would love as many families as possible to lend a hand.

Our goal is to clean out and organise the shed and storage container behind the Scout Hall so we can take stock of our equipment, identify items that need repair, and replenish our camping gear for future activities.
Even if you can only spare an hour, your help would make a big difference.

Working Bee Details
Date: Saturday, 1 August 2026
Time: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Location: 1st Kings Langley Scout Hall, 121 James Cook Drive, Kings Langley
What to bring: A pair of work gloves

This is a great opportunity to support our Scout Group and help ensure our equipment and facilities remain in excellent condition for all our youth members.
Please save the date in your diary and drop by any time during the afternoon to assist.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards,
1st Kings Langley Scout Group Committee

On Sunday, 31st May 2026, Scout members and their families celebrated the reopening of 1st Kings Langley Scout Hall with special guests Mayor of Blacktown City Brad Bunting and Mark Taylor MP. It was a significant milestone as the Scout hall had been closed since February 2025 due to extensive termite damage. We would like to sincerely thank Blacktown City Council for undertaking construction works to make it a safe environment for our Scouts and the local community.
