There are 16 Scout Groups in Romford District with most Groups having Beaver, Cub and Scout sections.

Romford District covers the north half of the London Borough of Havering including Romford, Collier Row, Rise Park, Harold Hill, Harold Wood and Gidea Park.

We also have 5 Explorer Scout Units and an active Network Section.

In all, Romford District is home to over 1000 young people and over 300 adults.

We have a very busy calendar throughout the year, full of events and activities.

Romford District is very much focused on youth shaped Scouting so the programme can vary throughout the seasons and from year to year.

As focus groups, forums and youth committees meet, new activities are suggested and facilitated wherever and whenever possible.

• Adult volunteers:

The Scouts award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people.

• Explorers

Explorers are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from Leaders.

With over 100 Explorer Scouts in the District, there is a variety of activities on offer for 14 to 18 year olds.

• Network

Scout Network is provided for members aged 18 to 25 as a gateway in to leadership.

Network members meet every month to work on projects that enable them to hone their skills as Leaders of the future.

• Projects

Projects are discussed and planned within groups, each member then takes on a particular role within the project whether it be catering, transport, finance or programme planning.

The projects can vary somewhat, some examples of these are community impact projects, Queens Scout Award based projects, fundraising events, international working parties and recently an international skiing trip.
