5th Preston Scout Group dates back to 1912, we are a long standing group, part of the Preston District. We have four Sections, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts.

At the 5th Preston Scout Group, we are an adventurous community that enjoys spending time camping, hiking, and exploring the outdoors. Our youth members, ranging from 6 to 18 years old, are encouraged to have fun and discover new experiences, both indoors and outdoors.

Our group is fortunate to have the support of parents, friends, leaders, and adult helpers who work hard to ensure that we have the necessary equipment to make our outdoor activities safe and enjoyable. If you are interested in supporting our group, please visit the “Supporters Group” section of our website.

As the oldest scouting group in Preston, with a history dating back to 1912, we are proud of our past and optimistic about the future. We celebrated our centenary in 2012, and you can learn more about our history and how we marked the occasion on the “Our Centenary” page of our website. We are confident in our ability to continue to make a positive impact on the lives of young people for many years to come.
