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

Did you know that the Scout Association offers fun and everyday adventures to over 457,000 young people between the ages of 4 and 25? It’s incredible! And guess what? This amazing organisation is supported by over 154,000 adult volunteers across the United Kingdom.

Welcome to 1st Westgate-on-Sea Scout Group

Formed in 1926, our Scout group is one of the oldest Groups in Thanet. Following the Scout Association’s programme, we provide young people aged 4-14 with valuable ‘Skills for life’ through a range of activities, badges & awards.

Our group has members from all over Westgate and we strive to ensure that our young people have fun, make new friends and create lasting memories during their Scouting journey.
