Welcome to 1st Apsley Scout Group

1st Apsley are one of the largest Scout groups in Hertfordshire, with three Squirrel Dreys, five Beaver Colonies, three Cub Packs and three Scout Troops running each week during school term time. Our size and fantastic location next to River Bulbourne, gives all ages unrivalled opportunities, including water and land based activities. Following Scouts many of our young people continue their scouting journey in Hemel Hempstead Explorers, and many start their own leadership journey by joining us as young leaders.

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. Each week, throughout the UK, Scouts help nearly 500,000 young people aged 6-25 enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future.

Young people in the Scouts take part in an exciting programme of activities from kayaking to coding. They develop character skills like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid.

We're a very active group which means we're usually full or very close to it, If you'd like to sign your child up for Squirrels or Beavers but they're not old enough please fill in our join form to add them to our waiting list.
