Welcome

Hello and welcome to the 124th Nottingham Scout group. We are situated in the centre of Wollaton village, Nottingham, England.

This web site is intended to provide information not just for the members of the 124 Nottingham Scout group but for other scout group members and interested parents who may be considering joining and wish to find out more about who we are and what we do.

Please take a look at our fund raising events here in the village. You can do your bit and support the group by simply coming along. Why not bring some friends too.

What is Scouting ?

Scouting involves a progressive training scheme for boys and girls which spans the 6 to 25 age range. The 124th is currently made up of 5 sections, (Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts & the Scout Active Support Unit) each with its own identity, ethos and style. They all have adult support which varies in the different age groups, the older age groups becoming increasingly responsible for their own programmes. At whatever age, a young person in the Movement is a "Scout".

The Aim of The Scout Association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

From its inception Scouting has had a simple and positive Promise that is required to be made by all its members. Together with the Scout Law, this gives a distinctive ethos to the practices of the movement and acts as a bond with Scouts in other countries.

Diversity

The 124th Scout Group is committed to giving all young people in the community the opportunity to fully participate in Scouting regardless of their gender, ethnicity, nationality, religious beliefs or cultural identity.

Health & Safety

Health and Safety is a very important part of scouting at the 124th Scout Group. This is addressed on a personal Scout level, what they do and how they do it, and on an environment level.

Gratitude goes to the support provided by Healthy Buildings International Ltd (HBI) for providing us with a Scout Hut Health and Safety report. Click HERE for their WEB site.
