Welcome to the 1st Islington Scout Group |

Fun, Friends & Adventure!
We're a friendly Scout group who meet on Tuesday evenings in the Crypt under St. James Church just off Clerkenwell Green. We have four sections within our group; Beavers (6 - 8 years), Cubs (8 - 10.5 years), Scouts (10.5- 14) and an Explorer unit (14 - 18 years). We welcome boys and girls, of any faith. For more details of what we get up to either click on the sections or visit our events calendar.
Our group can trace it's roots back quite some way and we're the only remaining group in what was the London Borough of Finsbury. To find out more about our History click on the link above. Today we're part of the Camden, City and Islington Scout District which, in turn, is part of Greater London North Scout County.
Join the adventure...
Following the recruitment and training of several new leaders we now have capacity to take new m embers within all four of our sections. If you'd like to find out more either come along on a Tuesday evening (for directions click here) or get in touch with the appropiate section leader - you can contact us through the link above.
