Scouting District
The Prestwich, Radcliffe and Whitefield Scouting District consists of a collection of 10 groups and a District HQ across 3 townships. We are members of the district, and often participate in district activities, including camping trips and church parades and services. We have a proud history of dedicated, action-packed and adventurous Scouting, delivered to such a wide community.
The District Headquarters are located in Whitefield, behind Aldi and McDonalds. There is a great building with room for activities and events inside, and also a good outdoor area, with a wide lawn. It has recently undertaken some major exciting refurbishments!
The District Campsite is called 'Giant's Seat', which includes a purpose-built accommodation hut, with bunk-bed rooms, a kitchen and hall, with a large forest a grass tent area.

Archery

Go Karting

and much more...
DISTRICT SUMMER FUN DAY
Over the weekend Saturday July, a Barbeque and stalls were set-up, including activities such as slime-making, rifle shooting, crafts, tombolas and more! It was great family fun, and a success in raising funds for local Scouts to go to the World Scout Jamboree 2019 in the United States.
