About Us

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life and we encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

Here at the 7th Stafford Scout Group we give all of our young members the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future. We aim to provide this through learning and growing in an inclusive environment, helping them to become better members of society and a better ‘team-player’ in the world they are growing in to.

We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and stand against intolerance, always. We are part of a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures.

Our Scout values of integrity, respect, care, belief and cooperation, guide everything we do.

What do Scouts do

Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts take part in an exciting programme of assorted activities. They develop character skills like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid.

Through the adventure of Scouting, our young people get to take risks in a safe environment. Our programme provides young people with the opportunities to learn new skills such as camp cooking and photography, Rock climbing, potholing, computer science, geocaching, local and national citizenship, team challenges, personal growth and international experiences are just some of the things they also get up to. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means.  Did they have fun?  Do they feel more confident?  Would they do it again?

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. The fun of Scouting challenges young people to embark on exciting, new adventures.

Adventure does not have to be extravagant or expensive – there are adventures to be had everywhere. For a Beaver it is an adventure to wake up after their first ever night away on a Beaver residential experience, for a Cub or Scout the sense of achievement after helping on a Community project.
