We are one of the oldest scout troops still in existence, not just in average age of the leaders but also in the age of the buns in the freezer. We can trace our roots back to 1908 and have been in continuous operation since then. Read about our history here.

During this time the troop has endured many interesting events; the scout hut has burned down on several occasions (which is why we are called the Phoenix troop), world wars have come and gone, though a corner of our field still contains the remnants of an old Spitfire from the last one, we have survived the rising Thames tide levels and Leaders, parents and friends have survived repeated attempts to poison them during celebrity dinner nights.
