Ages 6 to 18
Two Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs, a Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit, all meeting in Hazel Grove.
1st Hazel Grove has two Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs, a Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit. All six meet on weekday evenings at the Methodist Church on Wesley Street in Hazel Grove (see a map (opens in a new tab)), and every one is run by volunteers.
Each section has its own leaders and its own programme of games, skills, badges and adventures, planned to suit its age group. As young people grow, they move up to the next section, so there’s always a new challenge ahead.
Sections go by age. Find your child’s age to see where they would start.
Not sure? Give your child’s month and year of birth on the joining form and we’ll help you find the right section.
Meeting nights and times for every Colony, Pack, Troop and Unit.
Ages 6–8
Fun, friendship and first adventures
Beavers is where Scouting starts. Each week brings games, crafts, stories and the chance to try something new, all while making friends and growing in confidence.
Ages 8–10½
Camps, challenges and curiosity
Cubs try their hand at all sorts, from camping and cooking outdoors to science, first aid and team challenges. They work in small groups called Sixes and start to take on more responsibility.
Ages 10½–14
Bigger adventures, real responsibility
Scouts take on bigger challenges together: camps, expeditions and adventurous activities. Working in Patrols, they learn to lead, plan and look after each other.
Ages 14–18
Your adventure, your way
Explorers help shape their own programme, take on bigger trips and expeditions, and can work towards Scouting’s top awards. Many also volunteer as Young Leaders with the younger sections.
Tell us your child’s age on the joining form and we’ll help you choose. We’ll reply by email to talk about places and what happens next.
Every section is run by volunteers. Whether you could help every week or now and then, we’d love to hear from you.
