Welcome to Stroud Valley

Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. At Stroud Valley Scout Group, young people aged 4–18 get the chance to explore the outdoors, take on new challenges, grow their confidence and build skills for life — right here in Stroud.

• Weekly term-time meetings with games, teamwork and hands-on skills
• Outdoor activities and camps where young people learn by doing
• Practical skills such as cooking, first aid, navigation and problem solving
• Friendships and confidence built through challenge, responsibility and support
• A clear journey from Squirrels and Beavers through to Cubs, Scouts and Explorers

Our volunteers make this possible. Whether you can help regularly or occasionally, you’ll be supporting young people to discover what they’re capable of and creating experiences they’ll remember for years.

Support our work or hire our spaces. Through our community venues, including The Coach House and the Scout Centre, we offer welcoming spaces for local groups, learning and creative activities. Income from venue hire helps fund Scouting for local young people.

Founded in 1936 and known as Stroud Valley Scout Group since 1981,
we are a long-established, volunteer-led Scout group based in Stroud,
providing Scouting for local young people aged 4–18, from Squirrels through to Explorers, as part of The Scouts.
