We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

Welcome to 1st Burnham and Hitcham Scout Group

The Scouts are the UK’s biggest youth organisation. 1st Burnham and Hitcham is a large Scout Group based on Almond Road in the heart of the village. We have over 100 members and we continue to grow.

We change lives by offering 6 to 18-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we can make a positive impact in communities.

Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment.
We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.

Volunteering. It’s #GoodForYou.It’s not just about giving back – it goes both ways. Improve your wellbeing, gain skills for the future, and make new friends!
