2nd Southampton Group History

With an unbroken history spanning more than a century, the 2nd Southampton Scout Group can truly be described as second to none.

It is a proud and distinguished history – unrivalled by any other city troop – which goes back to nearly as far as Baden Powell’s first historic camp on Brownsea Island.
