Welcome to Croydon Scouts

Croydon Scouts provide activities and skills for life to nearly 2000 young people across the borough of Croydon.

Our fantastic programme is delivered by 30 volunteer-led Scout Groups and 6 Explorer Units across the borough. Scout Groups welcome boys and girls into Squirrels (4 & 5 years), Beavers (6-8 years), Cubs (8-10.5 years) and Scouts (10.5-14 years), whilst Explorer units welcome 14-18 year olds and an active Scout Network providing opportunities for those aged 18-25. 

Squirrels are the newest and youngest uniformed section in Scouts, offering a special Scouting programme for 4-6 year olds.

Croydon Scouts are also fortunate to have two fantastic outdoor activity centres – Bears Wood Scout Campsite and Pinewood Scout Centre. Both enable us to offer adventurous and outdoor activities to our scouts, and to Guides and other local youth organisations and schools too.
