Group Scout MasterHistory
1st Dullingham and Stetchworth B-P Scout Group was formed in January 2015 following the closure of the 1st Dullingham and Stetchworth Scout Group, formerly part of the Scout Association.
The group made the move to the Baden-Powell Scouts' Association in search of a more traditional approach to Scouting. We are members of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS).
ALL the images in the Archive files are given freely to us from the parents and or members of the Group. Our history is important to us all and our Scouting History displayed on this website, proves to all that our historic links have helped us get to where we are now.

Volunteering
The most valuable commodity that anybody can give a Scout Group is time, and we always need more volunteers. Perhaps you'd like to be a Leader, administrator or skills instructor?
Why Volunteer?
Some people do it to add to their CV, others do it to give something back to the community. It is an exciting challenge and most importantly of all, it is fun. These kids can be hilarious, and working with them is very rewarding. So…could you help?
- None of our Leaders are paid - they are all volunteers (free uniform and expenses covered).
- The majority of our Leaders have full time jobs and a family.
- We have lots of female Leaders, including both Beaver Leaders.
- Leaders get involved because they want to have fun, learn new skills and make new friends.
Leaders don't have to be 'superheroes' who know everything.
They are given training on the job and learn new skills as they go along. The one thing that unites our Leaders is the energy and enthusiasm they have for giving young people the adventure of Scouting

Scouting encourages young people to take sensible risks in a controlled way. Your child will climb trees, light fires and learn to use knives, as well as taking part in a number of adventurous activities. We recognise that minor injuries are an inevitable part of childhood, but follow risk assessment and operating procedures to ensure that all activities are as safe as possible.
