About 1st Wentwood Scout Group

For more than 50 years, 1st Wentwood Scout Group has been part of the community at The Pike Den in Llanvaches, Newport. We were first registered on 25 March 1971, and our current building was officially opened on 27 April 1985. Over the decades, thousands of young people have discovered adventure, friendship and skills for life through our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venture Scouts (the predecessor to Explorer Scouts) sections.

During our history, the group has evolved to meet the needs of local families. After a period running only a Cub Pack, we proudly re‑established our Scout Troop in 2005. In October 2008, we completed our return to full strength with the launch of our Beaver Colony. Today, all three sections continue to grow, offering weekly opportunities for young people to learn, explore and thrive.

Many of our former Scouts now take part in the Newport District Explorer Unit, and several have returned as Young Leaders or adult volunteers - a testament to the lasting impact Scouting has on confidence, leadership and community spirit.

You’ll see 1st Wentwood Scouts regularly at Newport District Scouting events, taking part in and hosting activities such as cooking, camping, climbing and team challenges. These experiences help young people build resilience, independence and the skills they’ll carry into adult life.

Behind every meeting, camp and adventure is a dedicated team of volunteers who give their time to create meaningful experiences for local young people. Our aim is simple: to provide the best possible Scouting experience and help every young person develop skills, confidence and friendships that last a lifetime.

We have enthusiastic leaders, strong momentum and a commitment to making a difference. If you’d like to learn more about joining, volunteering or supporting the group, please get in touch with: skip@1stwentwoodscouts.org.uk (Ian Henson - Group Lead Volunteer)
