About Us
16th Lancaster (St Paul’s) Scout Group aims to offer challenge and adventure to all its members.
We believe in helping our young people fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. We’re working to make Scouting available to all and we’re passionate about what we do.
Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they’ll never forget. The sort of adventure we offer is the chance to experience something different and the opportunity for young people to discover their potential. When a Beaver Scout wakes up the morning after a sleepover or a Cub Scout has just got over her fear of heights by completing her first abseil – that’s adventure.



All this is made possible by the efforts of our dedicated team of hard-working voluntary adults. Our training scheme and one-to-one support ensure that each of our volunteers gets to make the best use of their skills and talents. Our adults have a responsibility to make our Programme fun and exciting. They also make sure that it is safe. Our policies, rules, code of behaviour and advice on child protection and safety are there to ensure our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.
The Group attracts young people mainly from South Lancaster. There are over 100 young people and 35 adults in the Group today, and the Group is one of the largest in the Lonsdale District.
