Our History

Our Group began over a century ago when our 1st group of  Volunteers came together with a shared mission: to empower young minds and foster a spirit of exploration and service. Since our inception, we have remained dedicated to the principles of scouting, providing a nurturing environment where young people can learn, grow, and thrive.

Over the years, we have evolved and expanded, merging with other Scout groups to strengthen and expand our abilities. Over 30 years ago we merged with the 20th SWC This change brought about a new necker which displays the red of the 3rd and the black of the 20th, not only did we gain a new necker it is also at this point that we adopted the name that we proudly have now. In 2023, we proudly welcomed the 30th South West Cheshire Scout Group, we officially absorbed their group in 2024.
