Welcome to 2nd Ranskill Scout Group
2nd Ranskill Scout Group is a thriving, friendly Scout Group based in the heart of our local community, offering fun, adventure and life skills for young people aged 4–18.
We provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where children and young people can grow in confidence, build friendships and try new things — from outdoor adventures, camps and sleepovers to creative activities, teamwork and community projects.
Our Group includes Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, giving young people the opportunity to progress through the Scouting journey while developing independence, resilience and a strong sense of belonging.
Everything we do is led by a dedicated team of trained volunteers who are passionate about giving young people the very best experiences. We’re proud to be a welcoming, family-friendly group that values kindness, respect and having fun together.
Whether it’s a first night away from home, learning a new skill, or taking part in a big group adventure, 2nd Ranskill Scouts is all about helping young people believe in themselves and discover what they’re capable of.
