Welcome to 8th Ashford Scout Group
We’re proud to be one of Ashford’s oldest Scout groups, having celebrated our centenary in 2014!
Based in the heart of Shadoxhurst, we offer a fun, adventurous, and inclusive Scouting experience for All young people — helping them grow, learn, and build skills for life.
Where We Meet
All our meetings take place at the 1st Shadoxhurst Scout Hut, a purpose-built facility with indoor space, kitchen and toilet facilities, and a fantastic outdoor area. This gives us the flexibility to run a wide range of activities all year round.
What We Offer
Our programme is packed with exciting opportunities, including:
Outdoor adventures, Camps and hikes, Time on the Water, Badge work, Skills for Life & Much more!
We’re proud to have a qualified leadership team with Air Rifle, Archery, and Axe Throwing permits — opening up even more adventurous experiences for our young people.
