How often are Scouts shown simply as children and young people hiking? 🏕️
But how often do we see the countless volunteer hours behind every trip, meal, activity, and permit?

Scouting is like an iceberg. What’s visible is the adventure, the badges, the scarves, the smiles. What stays hidden is far greater: the dedication of volunteers and Scout leaders, teamwork and collaboration, conflict resolution, planning, training, and a strong educational method.

To the world, we wear our uniforms and enjoy the journey. Beneath the surface lie the skills, values, and commitment that make it all possible. They may not always be seen, but they are always there.

Hello all…It’s a new year New year and time to reset our lives and think about spending a little time each month giving back to our lovely community and making a difference to the young people of Alton.
Please consider giving a little time to the running of the 8th Alton Scout group by joining the trustees.
Amongst other things our responsibilities are finance, the building and safety of the members. Scouting cannot happen without this essential work behind the scenes.
We meet alternate months during an evening.
