Our Story – Scouting in Allerton Since 1951

Welcome to 25th Allerton Scout Group, proudly serving the L19 community for nearly 75 years. Located at The Scout Hut, St Mary’s Road, L19 0NE, our group is home to over 90 young people and dedicated volunteers who are driven by adventure, friendship, and personal growth.

We’re part of Liverpool South District of Merseyside Scouts, and affiliated with The Scout Association—a national charity committed to developing confidence, leadership, and life skills in young people. Our core values—Integrity, Respect, Care, Belief, Cooperation—guide everything we do.

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.
