The experiences your son or daughter has as a Scout are likely to stay with them for the rest of their lives. At 2nd Cleveleys we aim to encompass the many ways that Scouting challenges and stretches the lives of young people. To a Beaver Scout, waking up the morning after his or her first ‘sleep over’ away from home is as challenging as the Scouts first abseil down a real rock face – all achieved in a controlled risk situation.  It’s all possible in Scouting.

2nd Cleveleys Scouters help to prepare the scout for life by giving opportunities of self-exploration, of taking risks in a controlled environment. This helps them to become independent and able to look after themselves. They have opportunities of working with each other to achieve good outcomes and are giving opportunities to succeed at what they do. This enhances their self-worth and confidence which in turn enables them to achieve that which they would not have thought possible before becoming a scout. All this accomplished by the Scouting fun methodology to learn by doing.

2nd Cleveleys has a proven track record of success over many years just ask the numbers of adults who fondly remember their scouting experiences with us.

The Scouts, with the Guides, are unique among youth movements in having a promise and a law which members willingly accept as a guide to the standards of conduct required of them. All leaders have to have a faith whatever that might be. Here at 2nd Cleveleys, although we are now an ‘open’  group, which means that scouts need not  be of the  Church of England  Religion  we are non-the-less fortunate to have been sponsored  by St. Andrew’s Church for the past 100 years.

The initial name for the group at St Andrew’s Church was 1st Cleveleys which was formed more or less at the same time as the building of the church.

Scouts have always enjoyed camping and this picture shows 1st Cleveleys at their first camp at Kirwan’s Wood (Tower Wood) in 1910!
