1st Faringdon are located in the small market town of Faringdon on the western fringe of King Alfred District.

We welcome young people from Faringdon and the surrounding small villages.

All of our sections, welcome boys and girls from age 6 to 14 and we are currently growing in numbers.

The Sections meet in term time:

Beavers (6-8 years)

Cubs (8 to 10.5 years)

• Tuesdays 6pm-7.15pm

We aim to provide a varied programme for the young people which is both fun and adventurous. We make use of the wonderful countryside to undertake many outdoor activities including camps and water based activities.

We have strong links with the local community including the emergency services, churches and with the local nursing and care homes. We take pride in supporting our local community and representing Scouting at St George’s day and Remembrance commemorations.

All sections run a waiting list. Please register via the King Alfred District Website home page – click “join today”.

We have a very active Trustee Board and dedicated fully trained leaders. We also receive immense support from our parents.

To run our sections we rely on Adult volunteers to join us. It’s a rewarding and fun filled activity which also gives you plenty of skills for Life.
