Skills for Life

Based on Dorrington Road, South Lancaster, we are part of the Lonsdale Scout District. We are one of the largest and most active Scout Groups in Lonsdale. Every week over 100 young people aged from 4 – 14 from Lancaster join us to experience everyday adventure and take part in our top quality Scouting programme.

Scout Group

The Group has grown rapidly over the last few years, recovering from the lows of lockdown with the addition of a second Beaver Colony and our first Squirrels Drey thanks to the wonderful effort and hard work of our Leadership team, Board of trustees, and Section Leaders.

Our thriving and active Scout Group has a dedicated leadership team who produces exciting and dynamic programmes for young people of the area, teaching life skills as well as having plenty of fun along the way! We partake in regular meetings, camping trips and day activities.

It’s exciting being involved with us. We believe that through everyday adventure, young people regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives and meet lifelong friends through Scouting.
