Directions Website Contact the organisation

The official page for 1st Wheathampstead Scout Group. We have the Marford field on our door step! To find out more please get in touch/

The Group caters for young people aged 4 to 14.5 year olds, with a Squirrel Drey, 1 Beaver Colony, 2 Cub Packs and 1 Scout Troop. We love out door activities as we can have fires on our grounds, we are near the river, and are able to have wide games from the hut. Meetings held at Mead Lane Wheathampstead -

Squirrel Drey - Tuesday 16:15 to 17:15
Beaver Colony - Wednesday 17:00 to 18:00
Mead Cub Scout Pack - Tuesday 18:30 to 20:00
Delaport Cub Scout Pack - Wednesday 18:30 to 20:00
Lamer Scout Troop - Friday 19:30 to 21:00

Opportunities for adults too:

Scouting relies on a wide range of volunteers to make these experiences for young people possible. Volunteer roles range from working directly with young people, to being a charity trustee or in a supporting role such as helping with fundraising, administration or looking after our premises and equipment.

Last night was the first meeting of our new scout troop. With members taking on a series of "Taskmaster" challenges to get to know each other better such as estimating 100 seconds and building the tallest cup tower

The new troop is great news for 1st Wheathampstead Scout Group allowing us to offer more opportunities for local young people to take part and learn new skills.

A very successful "working party" at the hut today.

Great progress on the job list and some amazing results! (the "before" and "after" photos really don't do it all justice).

Huge thank you to all who came and donated their skills and time.

Have you ever considered volunteering with the Scouts but felt that working directly with young people isn't for you?

How about an administrative role? (see comments)

Why not pop along and visit us at the Scout Hut during Village Day on Saturday afternoon?

If it's anything like last year then the hall or under the trees outside the hut may be one of the best offers of shade around - feel free to use it!

You may have noticed tents and laughter from the Scout Hut over the weekend as a contingent of our Beaver Scouts (6 to 8 year olds) enjoyed a camp out sleepover.

Saturday afternoon consisted of games and activities, followed by dinner, a camp fire and then bed. Sunday morning was breakfast and a local walk in the village before being joined by parents and siblings for a game of rounders.

For many this would have been their first night away from family, so to do it camping was a huge adventure! Well done to all involved!

Scouting relies on volunteers to make these life changing opportunities possible, and you don't have to work directly with young people to make a huge difference.
