About us

At the 5th Rotherham Scout Group, we prepare young people with skills for life. They can learn survival skills, first aid, cooking and even expedition skills that can lead on to Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

About Us

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling, and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team, and taking on new challenges.

At the 5th Rotherham Scout Group, we prepare young people with skills for life. They can learn survival skills, first aid, cooking and even expedition skills that can lead on to Duke of Edinburgh Awards. It’s a wonderful way to have fun, make friends, get outdoors, express your creativity, and experience the wider world. There’s something for every young person, whatever their physical ability.

We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and stand against intolerance – always. We’re part of a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures.

There’s no better time to join the Adventure

It doesn’t matter whether it’s you or your child who wants to join us, or even if your child is of joining age yet or not, because you can sign up now and ensure they are allocated a place when it becomes available.
