2nd Southampton (Shirley) Scouts

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your child’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.

We are looking for leaders who can help our young people learn #skillsforlife.

Or can you help behind the scenes now and then? Can you help us maintain the building and grounds, help with fundraising, do some admin or be a trustee?

You don’t need every skill to be an amazing volunteer – just the important ones. Contact us to find out more.

Due to demand in the local area, we are opening a new Cub pack in September 2026.
