Scouting in West Bridgford
1st/2nd Scout Group offers Adventure, friendship and skills for life.
Adventure Starts Here!
One of the Groups within Rushcliffe District Scouts is our Group! 1st / 2nd West Bridgford is a place to belong, grow and have fun. Based at Wightman Hall in the heart of West Bridgford, our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts enjoy exciting activities in a friendly, supportive environment.
Scouting helps young people become more independent, work as part of a team and develop practical skills they can use throughout life. Most importantly, they get to have fun, make friends and take on adventures at their own pace.
Whether your child is looking for their next challenge or you would like to support young people as an adult volunteer, we would love to hear from you.

Scouting sections are organised by age, so young people can enjoy activities and challenges that suit their stage of development. At 1st / 2nd West Bridgford we offer the first four sections. Scouting in West Bridgford is very popular so there may be waiting lists for any sections.
