Scouting in Galley Hill, Swanscombe

As a charity - we were first registered in 1963 and have been known as 18th Gravesend Group of Boy Scouts and 1st Galley Hill Group of Boy Scouts before our current inclusive title 1st Galley Hill (dartford) Scout Group. We have also met at various venues over the decades - but Church Road, Swanscombe has been our home both before and since the 'new' hall was built in 1992?

We aim to offer a variety of Scout based activities, including camping, exploring the local area, connecting with the community, playing different challenges and games. All of this will achieve badges / awards and help the young person grow to be the best version of themselves.

We have an active trustee board promoting and supporting the young people and adults in their scouting experience.

Post-Covid the Group was struggling and was closed for a couple of years until its relaunch in 2025?

We have a thriving Squirrel Den and are actively looking to grow into the Beavers and Cub sections.

If you want to be part of our Scouting journey - either as a Young Person or as a Helper / Volunteer - please get in touch and help us transform lives for the better with some fun - one child at a time!
