About Us

The 28th Hammersmith Scout Group was formed in 1922 at St Andrews Scottish Presbyterian Church (now the Polish Catholic Church) on Greenside Road, Shepherd’s Bush. Consequentially we are one of the very few scout groups south of the border that wears a tartan group neckerchief!

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. We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and stand against intolerance, always. We’re a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures. We live by the values of Scouting: Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief and Co-operation. They underpin everything we do, how we act and the way we treat each other.

The 28th Hammersmith Scout Group runs three separate age group sections, each with a separate leadership team delivering a programme of activities and games providing challenge, fun and adventure. The three sections are Beaver Scouts (6 – 8 years), Cub Scouts (8 – 10.5 years) and Scouts (10.5 – 14 years).
