1st Atherton Scout Group

The Scout Hut!

The Scout Building is part funded by Atherton Building Communities - click on the logo for more information:

1st Atherton Scouts have a building which is somewhat larger than the average Scout Hut. At one time the building was a Co-op, but it has belonged to the Scout Group for many years now. It's a two storey building, and also has a cellar.

The ground floor holds the main meeting room. It also has a kitchen, store room and office (which often acts as an additional store). There's also a disabled toilet.

The first floor room is large, open and very bright, having windows all along one end. This is the main activities area.

There are also boys and girls toilets on the first floor.

The cellar always used to be very damp, but this has now been sorted out and we intend to increase its usefulness as time goes on.

As well as the various Scout Group sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers) the building is also used by a Parent and Toddler group, a Martial Arts Group and as a band practice venue. It's also occasionally used for parties, meetings, etc. If you're interested in using the building, either on a regular basis or just for a one-off, then contact Steve or Roger.

In 2003, 1st Atherton Scout Group were awarded an SRB5 grant through Atherton Building Communities which enabled us to completely refurbish the building. For the full story behind this, click here.
