62nd Bristol Scout Group is affiliated to Horfield Methodist Church, and located in the old North West Scout District of Bristol. We were formed in 1913 and celebrated our 90th anniversary in 2003. Around 2006/7 we merged with a neighbouring District to form the new Cabot District.
Our youngest members are 6 years old and stretch right up to 14 years of age. Our leaders are, of course, a little older! We are building strong links with the new District Explorer Units for those aged 14 - 18. The District Brunel Explorer Unit held their first meeting at the 62nd Hut in April 2004.
We have a busy Group Executive committe which host many fundraisers throughout the year. All our main events are very well supported by the local community as well as parents and friends of the Group. | |
