Our Scout Group

The 52nd Reading Scout Group was registered on 27th October 1925.

Based at the Reading Scout & Guide HQ in Northcourt Avenue, we are one of several Scout Groups in Reading Central Scout District, over a hundred Scout Groups in Berkshire and one of thousands of Groups in the UK.

Our Scout Group has three sections which boys and girls can join:

A Beaver Scout Colony (ages 6 to 8 years)

A Cub Scout Pack (ages 8 to 10½ years)

A Scout Troop (ages 10½ to 14 years)

We are partners with a District Explorer Scout Unit (ages 14 to 18 years)


Adult volunteers lead each section and they are supported by a Group Scout Leader and Group Executive Committee.
