About 1st North Springfield

The Group was formed in January 1980 with the development of the Springfield housing estate. At that time the group consisted of a Cub Pack and Scout Troop. The Pack had ten boys and the Troop six. They met at a local School and for some eight years the Group Scout Leader also acted as the Scout Leader.

As the Group expanded, it moved to facilities at a larger school which remains our current home. The first summer camp took place in August of that year on the island of Guernsey. A few years later another Pack was formed and in 1996 the Beavers section was formed.

Since those early days the group has developed and has had a number of different leaders including five Group Scout Leaders. We now have approximately 140 members with a Leadership team of 25! Although the size of the Group has changed, and perhaps all of the faces are different, the Group continues to deliver a wide variety of programme ideas to serve North Springfield.
