Welcome to the 1st Bingley Scout Group Website.

The Scout Movement is a voluntary organisation which is open to all young people between the ages of 6 and 25 years of age. The Association operates an equal opportunities policy which makes Scouting accessible to all irrespective of gender, disability, race or religion. This is subject to individual Group practice but all new Groups must now be co-educational. It is one of the most progressive youth organisations in the world. The young people meet in one of the 5 sections appropriate to their age.  Nationally there are over half a million members, with over 31 million throughout the world, in over 160 countries. Please visit www.scouts.org.uk for more infomation.

Bingley is a small town in West Yorkshire situated 5 miles north of Bradford. Scouting in Bingley consists of 10 Groups within the district of Aire Valley, we are one of two who meet in the town centre, 3rd Bingley being the other.
