About Us

There is never a dull evening at St. Luke's as you'll find at least one of our Sections using our HQ. We're a thriving Scout Group, taking part in many activities in District and County. If you're wondering when each Section meets and what they do to fill a meeting, then look no further.

The Beaver Scout Colony hold it meetings on Tuesday evenings. The meeting starts at 6.00pm and lasts for an hour. This gives plenty of time for 6 to 8 years participate in the balanced learning programme, play games, take part in craft activities, and generally have fun. The Beaver motto is "Fun and Friends" and we encourage them to enjoy feeling part of a group of people who are learning new experiences together.

The Cub Packs Packs meet on a Wednesday and Thursday evening. On a Wednesday, the meeting starts at 6.30pm and finishes one and a half hours later. On a Thursday, the meeting starts at 6.45pm and finishes at 8.00pm. Both Packs enjoys programmes that are packed full of games, craft, outdoor activities, and learning new skills. Both Packs take in part Camps and Pack Holidays (indoor camps), where the Cubs have the opportunity to experience sleeping away from home as well as trying new activities, which in any other environment they would not get the chance to.

The Scout Troops are our biggest Sections, and meet on a Monday and a Friday evening. Our Monday evening Troop meetings run from 7.00pm to 9.00pm and Friday evening start at 7.30pm and finish at 9.30pm, (well it's not a school night next day is it?). The Troops take part in Wide Games (games that often involve going outside and getting muddy!), learning life skills such as outdoor survival, navigation, and essential first aid. Outside of weekly meetings, the Scouts are encouraged to put all their new skills to use at camps, on hikes, and at County organised events. In the Troop there are also opportunities to gain qualifications such as canoeing 1 and 2 star, and first aid.

Working hard in the background, is our Group Executive Committee, that works towards keeping our HQ in good working order, sorting the bills, and making the difficult decisions to make the Group as great as it is.

Every year at the Group AGM, families and friends can come along to our HQ and find out what the whole Group has been up to during the last year, and enjoy a social gathering.

Want to help continue the story? We're always on look out for volunteers, no matter if only can spare an evening a month, or willing to jump in and help out weekly. You may even like the challenge of reopening our second Beaver and Scout unit. You don't even have to commit to working with children, we've plenty of jobs in the background that you may be able to help with.
