Scout Troop

4th Newbury (St. Johns) Scout Troop is currently flourishing in Newbury. We have 30 regularly attending members on most Monday evenings. I'm afraid that does mean that at the moment we are unable to accept new members who are not already in our Cub Pack.

Meetings take place every week, during term-time, on a Monday evening, usually starting at 7.30pm and finishing at 9.15pm.

The Troop runs a varied programme with numerous different activities depending upon the time of year and weather. In the last 12 months we've hiked, climbed, sailed, canoed, abseiled, dry-stone-walled, rafted, camped, cooked, crafted as well as many other activities. We try to get out and about as much as possible during the lighter evenings and run a full and varied indoor programme during the long winter nights.

This year the Scouts have been challenged to submit an article for inclusion on this site, entries received so far are all listed below.

This will help them towards completion of their Creative Challenge. Details of all the badges available to members of the Scout Troop can be seen at ScoutBase UK.

Every year, the Scout programme is geared towards preparing for our Summer Camp in August. In 2010 we visited Red Rose 2010, an international Scout Jamboree held in the Lake District, near Windermere, and in 2011 we enjoyed the sunshine on the Isle of Wight!
