About Us:

 

1st Goring Scout Group began in the early 1900’s, although the Group did close down for a time, reopening in 1952. Our numbers have grown steadily over the years and today we are one of the largest Scout Groups in Worthing with over 150 young people and 30 regular Leaders and helpers. We have two Beaver Colonies to start the age ranges (6-8’s), two Cub Scout Packs (8-10 1/2), two Scout Troops (10 1/2-14) and an Explorer Scout Unit (14-18). All our sections contain both sexes, and we very much encourage girls to join us. The Group owns the Scout Hall, with maintenance representing a major expense. All the Leaders are unpaid volunteers. The Group has to pay over £35 per year, per member for central and local administration which also covers comprehensive insurance. Apart from the occasional fund raising activity, our income is met by an £11 per month standing order from each member to the Group.
