We prepare young people with skills for life.

Welcome to...

Wansdyke Scouts

Welcome to the Wansdyke Scouts website. We are just one part of the 32 million+ people who belong to the worldwide Scout Movement.

Our area covers North-East Somerset and every night of the week, somewhere in Wansdyke, young people will be given the chance to experience challenge and adventure, friendship and teamwork, whilst having fun in a safe environment with trained volunteer leaders.

We love to welcome new adults to Scouting in many different ways, from a Pack Assistant to a Section Leader, or on our Group and District Executive Committees as Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, or another admin/fundraising role. Our aim is to make Scouting just as much fun for our adult volunteers as it is for our young people.

Please tour our pages and see what young people can experience through the balanced Scouting Programme. Whatever your age, we’re waiting to hear from you.

District Commissioner

What we do

Scouts is where young people make new friends, have amazing adventures, and learn new skills.

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Every week we give young people in North-East Somerset the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your child’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.

Sign up to help your child discover their ‘thing’: from abseiling to coding to performance art and everything in between.
