Who we are
We are the 31st Bath (St. Barnabas) Scout Group, please read below for more information on our Scout Group
Welcome to 31st Bath (St. Barnabas) Scout Group. Ever since 1928, the group has been meeting in Southdown, Bath, and we now have both boys and girls aged between 6 and 14, all taking part in a wide variety of exciting activities every week.
The Group currently has around 50 young people taking part in the activities organised by our team of volunteer leaders, but we still have spaces for more children aged between 5.5 and 14 who would like to join the adventure. We are also always looking out for extra adult support. Helping at a Beaver Colony, Cub Pack or Scout Troop is an excellent volunteering opportunity, and you can give as much or as little time as you like. If you'd like more information on this, then please do get in touch.
What we do
The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for 400,000 young people aged 6-25 in the UK. Skateboarding, climbing, kayaking, camping, sailing, orienteering, cycling, hiking, grass sledging, potholing... Scouting is all these things, and more. Scouting is about personal development through providing opportunity. It encourages young people of all backgrounds, male and female, to have self-belief and a voice; to develop physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually. We call this everyday adventure. They just call it fun. We believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing', when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. Why do we believe that? Well, because they told us. Scouting is a youth movement, meaning its the young people that drive it forward. To provide everyday adventure to young people we need adult volunteers. These adults not only benefit from supporting young people, they also gain from developing themselves and learning new skills. All of which they apply to their everyday working lives. There are lots of flexible volunteering opportunities to suit you and your needs, whatever the amount of time you have to give.
