Welcome to 1st Highweek

There has been Scouting in Highweek for over 100 years. The current Highweek Scout Hut opened in 1974, the Group previously used the Village Hall.

In 2025 the Group were lucky enough to be to take advantage of some local funding and have now completed an extension and improvement works to the Hut. This means we have new toilets, showers, a brand-new kitchen with commercial level equipment and a separate meeting room to use. We also have an improved under cover space to use outside, and a sizeable outside area suitable for camping.

So, what do Scouts do?

Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing.

But, we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Every week we give almost half a million 4-25 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

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