Hello!
Welcome to 1st Buckfastleigh Scouts
1st Buckfastleigh Scout Group relaunched in 2019. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength with over 100 members.
We were very pleased to be able to offer 2 new Scouting sections in 2022, Squirrels in April and Explorers (River Dart Explorers) in June.
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.
