Hitchin District Scouts

Part of a global Scouting population of over 28 million with a UK membership of 500,000, there are nearly 800 people actively involved in Scouting every week in and around the Hertfordshire market town of Hitchin.

Did you know that just about anyone - male or female from the age of 6 years upwards can be involved in Scouting and, there is no longer an upper age limitation - if you are capable of fulfilling a role! The possibilities for fun, adventure and friendship are almost endless: some would say the only limit is your imagination (and a bit of Health and safety as well!).

Baden Powell's original idea, core values and ethos are being maintained, but they are being applied to life as it is now, not as it used to be.

Scouting, the largest co-educational youth organisation in the world, exists to contribute to the development of young people, by helping them grow up to be self-reliant, responsible and caring citizens. Scouting is open to those of all faiths and offers equal opportunities to all young people in the community, regardless of their gender, social, religious or ethnic background.

If you would like your son or daughter (or even yourself) to benefit from the amazing things that 21st century Scouting has to offer, particularly in and around the Hitchin area, please browse through our website and, feel free to contact Graham, our District Commissioner, for further details.

So, as they say, "how do you do that?"
