We operate from our Scout HQ situated at the base of Codden Hill in Bishops Tawton and draw young people from Landkey, Swimbridge, Newport, Whiddon Valley, Bishops Tawton, Bratton Fleming and the surrounding areas.
Through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives.
Scouting helps our young improve their key skills, including social skills, teamwork ability, leadership ability and confidence. Our volunteers also enjoy the benefits of Scouting by learning new skills, making new friends and enjoying a social life with a purpose. There are hundreds of different volunteer roles on offer, from management positions, running activities to behind the scenes roles like driving the minibus or painting and decorating.
Adventure is at the heart of everything we do.
