Who we are
We are the 10th Bath (Combe Down) Scout Group, please read below for more information on our Scout Group
The 10th Bath Scout Group was formed just a few years after Baden Powell’s first camp on Brownsea Island. It originally met in the Church Rooms at the other end of the Avenue, before building its new headquarters in 1964 where it has been ever since.
The 10th Bath has always been an active group, making the most of the outdoors. Since its formation the streets, fields and woods around Combe Down have rung with the sounds of young people from the 10th having fun!
The groups success is only possible through the hard work of a team of leaders and supporters. If you would like to get involved with the group in some way, then please visit our website here.
Beavers in this group are currently full and are not adding to their waiting list
What we do
The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for 400,000 young people aged 6-25 in the UK. Skateboarding, climbing, kayaking, camping, sailing, orienteering, cycling, hiking, grass sledging, potholing... Scouting is all these things, and more. Scouting is about personal development through providing opportunity. It encourages young people of all backgrounds, male and female, to have self-belief and a voice; to develop physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually. We call this everyday adventure. They just call it fun. We believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing', when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. Why do we believe that? Well, because they told us. Scouting is a youth movement, meaning its the young people that drive it forward. To provide everyday adventure to young people we need adult volunteers. These adults not only benefit from supporting young people, they also gain from developing themselves and learning new skills. All of which they apply to their everyday working lives. There are lots of flexible volunteering opportunities to suit you and your needs, whatever the amount of time you have to give.
