Parkstone St Peters Scout Group
About Us
Scouts is all about giving the next generation skills for life. Every week half a million 6-25 year olds in the UK go on adventures, meet new people, and learn new skills to excel now and in the future.
Based at the Denis Gooding Centre in Upper Parkstone, Parkstone St Peters Scout Group was formed in 1928 and is home to around 60 young people across four sections, and a handful of dedicated leaders and volunteers who keep things running smoothly.
