Welcome to the new website for 2nd Longton 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 2nd Longton and everyone is welcome here. We help almost eight thousand people aged 6 – 14 develop skills for life, encouraging our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Are you ready to join the adventure?

Welcome to 2nd Longton

2nd Longton is the largest Scout Group in South Ribble District – West Lancashire. Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing.

But, we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Every week we give almost half a million young people the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

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.
