About us

Most of our adult volunteers receive a weekly email (eUPDATE) which provides news and ideas for Chester and District. If you don’t see this and would like to, please email media@chesterscouts.org.uk. Before you are added to the list, we’ll do a quick check on your membership status and we reserve the right to decline requests if necessary as a result.
What’s this I hear about waiting lists?
Scouting is popular with young people and this means that sometimes we can’t take everyone at the time they want to join us – they have to go on a waiting list. We try to fit people in as soon as we can and will be happy to talk over the options with you.The key for us to be able to provide more Scouting for more young people is the number of adult volunteers we can recruit. Daughters and sons of our adult volunteers can be found places in our Groups.
