Wantage Scout Group        

We are a thriving group based in the centre of Wantage. We are the amalgamation of two groups, 1st and 4th King Alfred with the addition of the Challow sections, and we are looking to meet the growing needs of Scouting in Wantage.

Our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts are very active in the outdoors, and frequently enjoy hikes, camps and bike rides in the surrounding countryside.
We have a three thriving Beavers Colonies and Cub Packs and two Scout Troops,  which meet either at our District Headquarters on Springfield Road, Wantage or the East Challow village Hall, during term time:
