The 6th Exeter (St Thomas) Scout Group was first registered on 23rd October 1953. It currently consists of a Beaver Scout Colony (6 – 8 years old), Cub Scout Pack (8 – 10½ years old) and a Scout Troop (10½ – 14 years old).
Since it began, the scout group has provided adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for the young people. Promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are ‘learning by doing,’ when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.
In recent years the Scout Group has been able to offer the young members the opportunity to attend a number of international camps, giving them an experience that they will never forget.
