Based in the heart of Macclesfield every week we support over 120 young people, from 6 to 18 year olds, in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to the local community and wider society.
No matter if you are a parent, young person or interested in volunteering to help our group we’re pleased to welcome you to our Scout Group. Take time to explore, learn more about what we do to help our members learn, have fun and grow.
Why Scouting?
Scouting gives children more confidence, responsibility, a broader set of friends, a chance to pursue things they might not get to do otherwise, adventure and an extended family. And as a group we’ve been doing this for more than 110 years, watch the film that tells our story.
Our programme for each section is designed to suit the age group and very much youth lead. In everything we do the key focus is to have fun.
