1st Wallington Scout Group
Posted on July 2nd, 2008 by Jeff Simmons
1st Wallington Scout Group was formed in March 1908 (although not continously known as 1st Wallington).
The 1st Wallington Cub Pack was formed in 1916.
1st Wallington has been at the forefront of Scouting being the first in the old Wallington and Cashalton District to:-
- - Form a Venture Scout Unit (1967 when Ventures replaced Rover Scouts and Senior Scouts)
- - Form the first Beaver Colony in 1983
- - Admit Girls to all sections (1990)
- - Form the new Explorer Section replacing Ventures (Autumn 2000)
- - Be awarded the County Commissioner's Standard, showing that we run the Group in a safe and efficient manner (Spring 2002)
The Group is very fortunate to have its own Headquarters in Ruskin Road, Carshalton.
