Welcome to 22nd Barnsley
Scout Group

Our Groups has been running from the very earliest days of Scouting, first formed in 1930. We pride ourselves in the way we are able to provide excellent quality Scouting to all young people, offering them “Everyday Adventure” to develop as individuals and to help them make a positive contribution to our Society.

Our Group is open to all young people aged between 4 and 14 years old, with links to Explorers and Network for older Scouts aged 14 to 25. The group is supported by an excellent team of adult volunteers who, week by week, make Scouting happen!

Today, Scouting extends way beyond the traditional view of outdoor activities and bush-craft, though of course these activities remain as central to the movement as they ever were. Scouting is about providing young people with the opportunities to explore, see the world, enrich themselves, learn new skills and interact with people of all backgrounds. It is dynamic, fun and fulfilling; if you want your child to see more than they can on a mobile phone screen, we will give them every opportunity to try!

On this site, you will find information about the work we do; the events and activities happening across our Group sections.

You can also found out how you can support Scouting in Barnsley, by volunteering.

Whatever your age, there will always be a welcome for you at the 22nd Barnsley (Central) Scouts Group.
