How to join
-
Email us at
1stchertseyenquiries [at] gmail [dot] com with your child's name, date of birth and the section you're interested in. Where there are two, such as Abbey or Bourne Beavers, tell us which nights suit you. - We'll let you know whether there's a space now or add your child to the waiting list.
- When a place is ready, the section's leaders will get in touch to invite your child along.
Questions parents ask
Do they need a uniform to start?
No. Your child can come along in comfortable clothes that can get muddy. Once they have settled in, you can buy uniform from the Runnymede Scout shop, linked from each section's page.
Where do you meet?
Every section meets at our HQ on Staines Lane, Chertsey, KT16 8PS. There is plenty of parking outside.
Who are the leaders?
Our leaders are volunteers, many of them parents. Every leader has a DBS check and completes safeguarding and safety training. You can see who runs each section on its page.
Are there trips and camps?
Yes. Every section has days out, and older sections go camping through the year. Each section's programme and events page shows what's coming up.
