Welcome to 1st Shifnal Scout Group

Welcome to 1st Shifnal Scout Group, part of the worldwide Scouting movement that helps young people gain skills for life through fun, adventure, and challenge. We’re based at the Shifnal Scout & Guide HQ on Curriers Lane  and we provide Scouting for children and young people across the town and surrounding area.

We run four thriving sections - Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts - offering age‑appropriate activities that build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Whether it’s learning new skills, exploring the outdoors, taking part in community events, or simply making friends, there’s always something exciting happening at 1st Shifnal.

What We Offer

Adventure every week  

From crafts and games to hikes, cooking, pioneering, and problem‑solving, our programme is designed to be active, inclusive, and full of variety.

Skills for Life  

Young people learn practical skills, leadership, teamwork, and independence - all while having fun.

A welcoming community  

We’re a volunteer‑run group supported by parents, leaders, and the wider Shifnal community. New families and volunteers are always welcome.

A safe, supportive environment  

All our leaders are DBS‑checked and follow The Scouts’ national safeguarding and safety policies to ensure every young person can take part confidently.
