Cold Ash Scout Group is a thriving scout group that meets every week at St. Finian's primary school on various nights of the week. As part of the UK Scout Association, the group provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for young people in our community.
The Scout Association has been providing services to young people in our communities for over 100 years, and today provides activities and personal development opportunities to 400,000 young people aged 6-25 in the UK in a co-educational setting.
Here at 1st Cold Ash, we provide a balanced programme of activities for girls and boys from 6 to 14 years of age. The age ranges are split between Beaver Scouts (ages 6-8), Cub Scouts (8-10) and Scouts (10-14).
At the age of 14, Scouts move to Explorer Units which are provided at a District level.
Our group is part of the Taceham Hundred Scout District which brings together the Scout groups in Thatcham, Hermitage, Woolhampton and Compton. Adult leaders and supporters provide balanced programmes to their scouts and ensure that all activities take place within a safe environment. Leaders receive training and must be CRB vetted to ensure their suitability. We hope to see you soon.
