1st Farnborough Scouts is part of the Bromley Scouts District, one of the largest Scout districts in the UK. Our Group serves the communities of Farnborough, Locksbottom, Pratts Bottom and Orpington.

Every week, we provide fun, adventurous and skills-based activities for around 80 young people, helping them develop confidence, teamwork and independence while making lasting friendships.

Our programme combines classic Scouting adventures—such as camping, navigation, pioneering and outdoor skills—with modern activities including coding, robotics, geocaching and community projects. We follow the UK’s Scouts programme, ensuring our young people enjoy a varied, exciting and age-appropriate experience that prepares them for life.

We also have Morris Explorers, our Explorer Scout Unit for young people aged 14–18. The Unit is named in honour of our first Scoutmaster, Gilbert Willan Morris, recognising his lasting contribution to the Group and its history.
