Great Barton Scout Group is a member of the The Scout Association. We belong to the Bury St Edmund’s District in the County of Suffolk.

We are a really enthusiastic and active group with a Beaver Colony (ages 6-8), meeting on Wednesdays, a Cub Pack (ages 8 to 10.5), meeting on Mondays, and a Scout Troop (ages 10.5 to 14) meeting on Thursdays. Discovery Explorers (ages 14-18) meet fortnightly on Fridays. Great Barton Scout Group provides an exciting range activities for boys and girls aged 6 upwards. We have spaces in all our sections, so if you would like your child to join, please get in touch.

We have a fantastic Leadership Team who provide a full and varied programme of events for your children to enjoy and learn many new skills. To support all our section team members we have a trustee committee, a maintenance support group and a fundraising team, who work to ensure the sections have the resources they need to make the fun happen!

We are always keen to encourage more adults and children to join the Scouting adventure – after all, where else can you join an instant family of 28 million around the world? Adult roles mean we need people who can spare just a few hours a year right the way through to those who can spare a few hours a week. Perhaps you could join our teams who work with the young people, or work behind the scenes with managing the group. We provide training for all our adult roles.

In addition, if you or your business can offer donations or services to support our work with the young people, please let us know.

Whatever the reason please get in touch – we look forward to hearing from you.

Scouting offers everyday adventure and activity to almost 400,000 young people across the UK. We are the largest co-educational youth organisation in the world, with over 28 million members in 216 countries and territories.

In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are ‘learning by doing’, when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

At Great Barton Scout Group, we have 40 young people taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences every week.
