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

Scouting teaches young people about the world they live in and encourages them to play a more active part in it, giving them “Skills for Life”. Through Scouting they try challenge themselves, develop leadership skills carry out new activities, often outdoors, and learn about themselves and others plus have lots of fun.

Welcome to 1st Woodend Scout Group

1st Woodend Scout Group was formed in May 1975 when the Charfield and Cromhall Scout Groups merged together. Our Headquarters are in Cromhall but are very lucky to have a summer venue that we use at Avening Green. Cromhall is a small, rural village just off junction 14 of the M5 between Gloucester and Bristol.  The Group draws its membership from a wide geographical area around the Charfield and Cromhall villages.

The majority of our members live either in Cromhall or Charfield, however many of our members travel to us from the numerous surrounding hamlets and villages.
