Skills for Life

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

In the UK there are over 450,000 young people in Scouting, spread across six sections: Squirrel Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network.

Each section has its own balanced programme of activities, badges and awards.

Welcome to 164th Sheffield Scout Group

Stannington is a very active, family friendly Scout group, providing adventurous activities for youngsters from six years and up.

Scouting has always provided opportunities and skills for life, and here at Stannington we have wide ranging programmes that allows young people to get the most out of their Scouting experience.

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.

Every week we help our young people develop the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.
