If your young person is interested in joining us at 1st Castle Hedingham Scouts then please do get in touch with us. We meet weekly during term-time on a Thursday from 7.30pm to 9pm at Wooding Lodge and you would be welcome to try out a session or two first, with prior arrangement, before making your decision.

Activity & Staged Badges
Master something you love or try something new. If it spurs you on or stirs your interest, we've probably got a badge for it.
Moving up to Explorers
Eventually, it'll be time to say farewell to Scouts and embrace your next big adventure as you move up to the Explorers.
Uniform and badge placement
You don't need a uniform to join. But once you've settled in, you'll start speedily earning badges, and you'll need to know where to put them!

Parent helpers
We don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners.
