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

Our District is made up of 16 Scout Groups including 2 Sea and 1 Air Scout Groups. We also have 2 Explorer Units [14-17 years] a Network Unit [18-25], supplemented by DofE Award and young Leaders [14-17] provision.

Welcome to Bristol South

Hello and Welcome to Bristol South Scout District, this website is ‘growing and expanding’, therefore, please feel free to browse or use the ‘Contact’ page to get in touch, if there is something you cannot find or want to ask a question.

As we move forward more activities, both old favourites are always returning  and new ones will always be developed and shared. Unprecedented demand for places has meant that many groups are operating waiting lists, so please be patient, or if you could help as an adult volunteer, either regularly or in a supporting role please do get in touch. “Many hands make light work”.

We believe in preparing young people with Skills for Life. We encourage young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, we help over 1100+ young people enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future.

We are part of the world wide family of Scouting which has around 31 million members, locally, within our ‘Scout County’ [Avon], nationally and growing across the world!

Happy browsing and Thank You for your interest.
