Welcome to the new website for Tendring District

We're delighted to launch our new website. Here you can find out everything about our group, how to join Scouts, how to get on board as a volunteer and learn something new - and if you're one of our members or leaders, you'll find loads of information for you too.

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

We’re Scouts and everyone is welcome here. We prepare young people with skills for life, by encouraging them to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, we help half a million young people enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future. Fancy it?

Welcome to Tendring District

Tendring District Scouts supports over 560 young people aged 4 to 18 across 13 Scout Groups in the district. Based in a unique part of Essex, we’re perfectly situated to make the most of both beautiful rural countryside and our stunning coastline – giving young people access to a huge range of outdoor adventures and experiences.

With 45 section meetings taking place each week and a dedicated team of over 200 adult volunteers leading, supporting, and organising our programmes, we provide fun, challenge, and skills for life to hundreds of young people across the area.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.
