Our History

Our group has a very long history in Scouting.

Originally three Scout groups - 9th, 12th and 25th Richmond, we have been delivering Scouting to Richmond for over 100 years.

The three groups merged to form North Richmond with the group originally meeting in various halls around Richmond and ending up for a long periods from the 1960s at the St Johns Church halls, near Richmond Station.

The group then aquired it's own Scout Headquarters, our existing Scout Hut in the 1980s - in the Old Deer Park Car Park, opposite Richmond's Pools on the Park.

Leaders and Adults

We have a team of dedicated Adults volunteers running each section, who are all DBS checked and have taken part in Scouting Training including: first Aid, Saftey Safguarding and Inclusion. They put together the exciting programmes for the section, and are helped by other occasional adult helpers (usually parents) and Young Leaders, which are some of our older Scouts.
