Bampton in Devon

Bampton Scouts Scouting was founded in 1907 by Lord Baden Powell. The purpose of scouting is to help young people achieve their full potential., as individuals and as responsible members of their communities. They do this by taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences, exploring the outdoors, teamwork and by taking responsibility.

The Group Scout Leader is Tony Weiss who can be contacted on 01398 331 901

Everyone who helps to deliver the Scouting programme is a volunteer, giving up their own time to lay on activities and challenges for the young people of Bampton, Dulverton and the surrounding area. Offers of help are always welcome.
If you would like to join the team, and help deliver challenging activities, look after the books, help with fundraising or cut the grass - then please get in touch.
