Beavers

Welcome to the website of 1st Lydiate Scout Group, based in Lydiate, Merseyside.

The Group is thriving with, at any time, in excess of 120 Young Members and 25 Adult Leaders, supported by 10 Young Leaders in training.

Our 20 strong Management Committee of Adult Volunteers are actively engaged in Fundraising, Financial Management and Administration for the Group.

We run all four of the official Scouting Sections: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers, each with their own dedicated Leadership Team. For further details on each Section please follow the appropriate links on Section pages.

The aims of our website are twofold: to give the visitor a flavour of Scouting with 1st Lydiate and beyond, and to act as a News & Resource Centre for all of our members. The site will grow as more information is added, so check back regularly for updates.

We hope that you find what you are looking for here or at least a link to it when it exists somewhere else. If not, please use the relevant contact details located around the site to request further information or suggest site improvements.
