Welcome to King Alfred District

King Alfred Scout District is located in the County of Oxfordshire, and broadly covering the Vale of White Horse area. Bounded to the north by the River Thames and to the south by the ancient Ridgeway, it is an area of outstanding natural beauty and historical interest – in fact, quite a nice place to live!

We are an active and thriving rural Scouting District comprising seven Scout Groups, four Explorer Scout Units and with our own Headquarters in the historic market town of Wantage. The District Headquarters (DHQ) is located in Springfield Road, Wantage, OX12 8ES.
