Inspiring Young People Through Adventure
Based in the heart of Gotherington, we support young people aged 4–14 to make friends, learn new skills, and build confidence for life.
We're 1st Gotherington
We bring the adventure of Scouting to the village of Gotherington and surrounding areas. Our community of around 1,100 residents means we’re small enough that the young people know each other—and volunteers and parents all chip in.
