Who we are

2^nd Atherton Scout Group is growing rapidly from humble beginnings. There have been Beaver and Cub packs at 2^nd Atherton for over a decade and the Scout troop was started in the summer of 2002 to accommodate a group of approximately 6 Cubs who had reached the age for progressing to Scouts and needed the greater challenges that Scouting provides.

Since then the Scout troop has grown to approximately 20 Scouts, made up of four patrols. Over the last few years the troop has been very active, meeting once a week, usually on Friday evening, and have had many weekends away (primarily under canvas). The weekends camping are used to develop our scouting, bushcraft and survival skills! Bushcraft? – that’s the stuff that Ray Mears guy does on TV and we taught him everything he knows,………… well almost!

The Beaver colony and Cub pack, are for younger boys aged between 6 – 8 and 8 – 10 ½ years respectively.
