Scout Group
Our Scout Group is based at Rhydd covert Scout camp site next to WMSP. Open to all children across the Wyre Forest. from 4 – 14 years old.
Our Leaders
We’re all volunteers, we don’t get a penny in money but we can offer fun , laughter, camaraderie, experiences, as well as new skills and adventures. You don’t have to be into camping or nature, even if you have a skill such as a mechanic, musician, IT techie, first aid. we need you as you can help us run the badges that cover these things. please check out our volunteer page or just make contact.

Our Scout Group was set up with just 18 cubs 4 years ago – now we are a very successful , caring and fun Scout group with over 100 youngsters and 22 leaders. we are based at our District Camp site allowing us to explore the wonderful woodland surrounding our hut in a safe environment. sections meet outside as often as they can even in the dark , wet or snow. We also have access to the activity hut and a marquee for indoors activities.
Children can join us from across Wyre Forest and there is no catchment area. check out the rest of the website for more information on the different sections. When sections are full , waiting lists are put in place. priority goes to siblings of children already in the group and then children of our volunteers.
Have you thought about volunteering? Our adult team are just that a team – Supporting each other, you will make new friends, have adventures and experiences you always thought only children had. We’re looking for over 18 who like the outdoors, want to learn new skills and watch children enjoy themselves. If you have just 2 hours on a Wednesday evening or once a month we would love to see you.
No one gets paid for any of their time in money . but we do get paid in care, support, fun and pride in how well our children do every week.
