About us
Welcome to 2nd Exeter Scout Group
Our Leaders and Children are all rightly proud of the success of our group. In order to keep nearly 200 children a week occupied and engaged our Leaders provide a fantastic range of activities while helping the children to learn by becoming do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. The activities that the children enjoy will equip them with #Skills for Life. There are quite simply too many activities to list them all here but to give you an idea across all the age groups we work with all Emergency services through visits and experiences. We also take part in adventurous activities such as Climbing & Abseiling, Archery & Shooting, Computing and Coding, Swimming & Diving, Camping & Overnight experiences and so much more.
All of our activities are tailored to the relevant age group. We welcome all genders, races, backgrounds and religious beliefs. Regardless of your child’s physical ability, there is a place for them in our group.
Our Mission
To develop a Scout Group, that our members are proud of by providing a quality balanced programme, positive environment, Young Leaders programme and active Leader recruitment, and remain at the centre of the community by being involved in community activities and involving local groups and charities within the scouting programme.
Scouting uses a Method, which is young people, in partnership with adults:
- enjoying what they are doing
- learning by doing
- participating in varied and progressive activities
- making choices for themselves
- taking responsibility for their own actions
- working in groups
- taking increasing responsibility for others
- taking part in outdoor activities
- sharing in prayer and worship
- making and living their Promise.
Our Fundraising
We are one of the few groups in Exeter to be lucky enough to have our own Scout Headquarters – but this costs money to run – including rates, electricity, gas and general maintenance. Raising funds is a vital part of keeping the group going. The cost of repairing and replacing group equipment, the repair and upkeep of our HQ all come of the funds that our supporters raise.
If you would like to help us with fundraising please see the details here.
