About Us
1st Upper Rissington Scout Group
​
We are an independent scout group that is part of the wider organisation of the Baden Powell Scout Association, (we joined B-PSA in December 2018) this is fully independent of the Scout Association and still follows the way Baden Powell saw scouts being run as laid out in his original writings .
We encourage all our group members to try new things and to push their limits in a safe way, this enables them to learn new skills and to work as part of a team as well as on their own.
​
We believe in teaching the traditional skills of a scout which includes being outside as much as possible and run mixed groups of Beavers, Wolf Cubs and Scouts, we are looking at opening a Rover Section for over 18's.
​Latest project
​​
Beavers and Wolf Cubs had a Visit to Far Peak Climbing Center where they learnt the basics of climbing before tackling their outside climbing wall. Well done to all!!
​
Recently we visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park for their Uniform Day event with our sister group 2nd Cirencester Scout Group.
​
There were talks and events arranged for the groups and they all achieved their Zoo Explorer Badge which they can put on their camp blanket.
