Welcome to 1st Whittingham Baden-Powell Scout Group! Congratulations to Joe and Daniel for completing their demanding four day, three night expedition in Snowdonia this summer for their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award Hike and Discovery Award.
We've had a fantastic summer, taking part in EUROCamp 2010 in Germany. We have come back with great scouting friends from all over the world (especially Germany!), and new skills such as nettle string making! See more photos in the Scout Section, or on the Gallery!
We are members of the Baden-Powell Scout Association. We love the outdoors, and sharing the beauty of our world with each other. We run a traditional scouting programme for everyone 5 years and over, and work closely with our community and scouts throughout Northumbria. Have a look at our active programme below, and find out more about the sections using the links to the left.
Remember, you only get one life - live it to the full!
