Skills for Life

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

Every week over 80 young people join us to experience everyday adventure and take part in our top quality Scouting programme.

Welcome to 1st Lyminge Scout Group

Our Group is a popular Group based in the village of Lyminge close to Folkestone and within the beautiful Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, providing skills for life for young people aged 4 to 18 and beyond.

Our Group is very active – take a look around our site to find out what we’re up to – supported by a dedicated and experienced team of volunteer leaders and supporters who make it all possible week in, week out.
