4th Northampton
Scout Group

Here at the 4th Northampton Scout Group, we believe in teamwork, independence, and learn by doing.  These are pillars of the Scouting Values and Method.

​

Through activities indoors and outdoors, outreach into the local community, and engagement with other Scouting groups in and around Northampton and Northamptonshire, our young members grow in confidence and responsibility through our Sections (Beavers, 6-8 years; Cubs, 8-10½; Scouts 10½-14), having the opportunity to learn new, practical skills and take the lead themselves.

​

We practice YouShape Scouting, enabling our young members to participate in the programming and organisation of our activities within all three Sections.

​

We are an inclusive Group, with both boys and girls among our membership, from different social, cultural, and religious backgrounds.  We believe that these things should not be a barrier for a young person to participate in and benefit from Scouting.

​

Our programmes are firmly rooted in the Challenge Awards of our Sections, which provide a diverse, goal-driven framework for our regular activities and events.  Our goal in each Section is for a young person that engages with the programme to achieve Chief Scout's Award prior to moving on.  These form the highest Scouting awards within each Section, and are the culmination of the path set out by the Challenge Awards.

​

We are located at Christchurch, close to Abington Park.  If you wish to join our Group, as a young member or adult volunteer, or simply come down and see what Scouting at the 4th is all about, please explore the Join and Contact menu options of our site.  A welcome pack and membership form can also be found in our Library.
