Welcome to the new website for 3rd Sudbury Scout Group

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 3rd Sudbury Scout Group

3rd Sudbury Scout Group has been part of the town for generations. We’re based at our own headquarters on Quay Lane, purpose-built in 1989 on the site of Sudbury’s old gas works, with a boathouse and slipway opening straight onto the River Stour.

The river, the water meadows and our purpose built HQ enable a full range of scouting activities as part of the ordinary programme, not a once-a-year treat. We run seven sections with over 150 young people — Squirrels, two Beaver colonies, two Cub packs, Scouts, Sea Scouts and Explorers — for young people aged 4 to 18, supported by a team of around 40 volunteers. Everything from the climbing walls in our main hall to the camping field outside the door is here for them.

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.
