The 1st Angmering Scout Group was originally founded in 1917.
After the 2nd World War, the 1957 registration was showing as survivors, 7 Troops; 1st Angmering, 1st Arundel, 1st East Preston, 1st Littlehampton, 4th Littlehampton, 5th Littlehampton, and 1st Rustington.
“Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.” Policy Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association
Our Scout Group offers varied and exciting activities to inspire and develop young people (yes, girls too!) between the ages of 6 and 14 years.
In order to ensure that all activities are age-appropriate, the Group is divided into three sections:
• Beavers – 6 to 8 years
• Cubs – 8 to 10½ years
• Scouts – 10½ to 14 years
To learn about our Beaver Colonie, Cub Pack or Scout Troop, select the relevant section from the main menu at the top of this page.
From 14 to 18 years, young people can join the Explorers – the nearest unit meets in East Preston. From the age of 18, young people become members of the Scout Network.
Activities are many and varied and feature and often take place outdoors. In the past few years, our activities have included:
• Camping, hiking, sleepovers, geocaching
• Climbing and abseiling
• Archery and rifle shooting
• Widegames and other outdoor activities and games.
• Orienteering, backwoods cooking and pioneering (building unnecessary structures from spars and rope!)

We rely entirely on adult volunteers to run our group. Visit our "Adults" page to learn more about how you could help, even if you are short of time!
