We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

We encourage young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, we help young people enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future.

Welcome to 42nd Chester

42nd Chester Scout Group is one of the 20 Scout Groups in the Chester District within the County of Cheshire.

The Group currently consists of one Squirrel Drey, two Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs and two Scout Troops operating on a Wednesday and Thursday evening.

The Group primarily serves young people from the Hoole and Upton areas although we do have and welcome members from other areas within the Chester area.

We are an active Group and try to take part in many District, County and national activities; from camps, competition hikes, climbing and many many more.

Adult volunteers

The Scouts award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people.
