Welcome to Scouting in Cambridgeshire
Want to join the Cambridgeshire Scouting adventure?6,000 young people aged 6 to 25 enjoy the Scouting adventure every week across Cambridgeshire through Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network.

Scouting in Cambridgeshire is active, vibrant and growing, in fact we have grown for the last four years. Just over the last twelve months all youth sections have grown with 8% more adults this year than last, they enjoy working with young people and many adults developing themselves through the training and support we offer.
There are more young people enjoying the adventure of Scouting, the challenges and opportunities it brings plus the rewards for youth and adult members alike that such a highly respected organisation can offer.
We look forward to developing further and welcoming more members of all ages, there is something exciting for everyone, to get involved in, contribute, grow and enjoy the adventure.
So what about you, ever wanted to learn a new skill as a Cub, scale new heights as a Scout or even hold a camp as a Leader, why not join the adventure today and make it happen!
