Why the 25th Scouts Allerton L19 Is Unique
Growing with Energy
We’ve welcomed 10 new young people this year, and continue to be one of Liverpool South District’s most vibrant Scout Groups.
Age-Specific Adventures
We offer tailored activities for every age:
Squirrels (4–6 years): First discoveries through play
Beavers (6–8 years): Confidence building through games and teamwork
Cubs (8–10½ years): Exploring new skills and independence
Scouts (10½–14 years): Leadership, challenge, and outdoor adventure
Regular Fun, Real Development
With meetings every Monday to Thursday evening, young people have the opportunity to build friendships, develop skills, and engage consistently in a variety of adventures.
What Makes Us Stand Out
Broad Adventure
From camps and water activities to creative projects and community service, our programme is fun and forward-thinking, preparing young people for life.
Deep Community Roots
We're not just based in Grassendale, Cressington, and Aigburth, we are the community. Through ambassadors, local partnerships, and meaningful projects, we connect our Scouts with purpose and place.
Welcoming Spirit
We’re open to children and adults of all backgrounds and abilities, providing an inclusive space where every young person (or young at heart) feels valued and supported.
Focused Growth
Every badge earned, every activity completed helps young people grow in self-belief, resilience, and leadership.
Our Leadership Team
A passionate team of volunteers—section leaders and committee members—each contribute their skills, time, and enthusiasm. Fully trained and vetted, they ensure high-quality experiences and safe, supportive environments.
Community Partners & Ambassadors
We are fortunate to have ambassadors and community champions—local figures who deepen our reach and impact across South Liverpool. Through meaningful partnerships with schools, businesses, and community groups, we broaden the opportunities available to our young people.
