Welcome to the Wansdyke District Scouts Website

Wansdyke District Scouts covers the towns and villages of North East Somerset including Keynsham, Saltford, Midsomer Norton, Clutton, High Littleton, Paulton, Peasedown St John, and all the villages in between, and around including as far out as Chew Valley, and Publow and Pensford.

Scouting is thriving in the area, with lots of growth in the individual Scout Groups both in terms of numbers, and the activities undertaken. Beaver Colonies, Cub Packs, Scouts Troops and Explorer Scout Units are opening all over the District. With weekly activities, and camps and trips throughout the year, there is no reason for any young person in the District or the surrounding villages to be bored.

Scouts are the biggest youth organisation in the world, with 28 Million members. In the UK alone there are 500,000 adult and youth members, in 24,000 Colonies, Packs, Troops, Units and Networks. The Scout Association has a clear purpose:

To help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international communities.

Why not come along to an evening and see what you think. Lots of the activities that we do are shown in this website, so why not have a look, to see if it is the sort of thing you might enjoy.

This year, is the 100th anniversary of Baden-Powell's first Scout Camp at Brownsea Island. The celebrations and activities to mark the Scouting centenary will make the year one of the most exiting for Scouts (of all ages) ever; there has never been a better time to join the adventure of Scouting.
