Founded in 1909, the 1st Bishop's Stortford and Hockerill Scout Group is one of the oldest in the country. We're now the largest group in the East Herts District and one of the top 30 in the UK with over 200 members.   

We currently run:

• One Squirrels Drey (for ages 4-6)
• Three Beaver Colonies (for ages 6 to 8)
• Three Cub Packs (for ages 8 to 10 1/2)
• Three Scout Troops (for ages 10 1/2 to 14)

As a charitable group, we are always on the lookout for leaders, assistants, parent helpers and committee members.
