About Us

1st Wentwood Scout Group has been established at the Pike Den in Llanvaches, Newport for over 50 years. The group was first registered on 25th March 1971. The current Pike Den building was officially opened on 27th April 1985. During its history the group has run Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venture Scouts (the predecessor to Explorer Scouts).

After some years of running only a Cub pack the group regained a Scout Troop in 2005. Both the Cub pack and Scout troop have grown and are still going strong. Our plan was to return the group to its former size and in October 2008 this was achieved with the introduction of our Beaver Colony. We have a number of our ex-Scouts now active with the Newport District Explorer section, and some have returned as young and adult leaders.

The group is seen regularly at District events and our members are taking part in and hosting the wide range of activities on offer such as Cooking, Camping and Climbing.

We have a team of enthusiastic leaders, a strong momentum and the enthusiasm to make a difference for our members. We want to give them the best possible experience that Scouting can offer.
