Welcome to 1st Effingham

The HQ is used by our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and the District Scout Shop. We also allow other organisations to use our facilities in return for a donation to our funds. Scouting is in many ways a family activity. We welcome boys and girls from age 4. If your child would like to join then contact us join@effinghamscouts.org.uk
