The 1st Hexham Scout Group is based in the market town of Hexham in Northumberland. We are approximately 20 miles from the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Our headquarters is situated at Maidens Walk in the East end of the town behind Hexham hospital & provides fantastic facilities for young people to enjoy Scouting.
The Group has three sections comprising Beaver Scouts, Cub scouts and Scouts, covering an age range of 6 years to 14 years.
We are also now delighted to host the Lookwide Explorer Unit, which is run by the District but partnered with our Group at the Lookwide Centre. We are always needing more adults prepared to join the Group & get involved in supporting our young people, so why not browse our website & see what we can offer.
At 1st Hexham we are the Adventure Specialists (Click to see our Video) & apart from the satisfaction of getting involved, it is also great fun. As as an adult in scouting, you also get the chance to participate in many of our scouting activities ! We also have an amazing track record of International trips.

The aims of our Group are simple, to provide your child with the best possible Scouting experience.
We believe & trust in the values of Scouting & encourage our young people to aim for their dreams & to learn skills for life through Scouting.
