Rotherham The Unofficial Website

Scouts, Guides, Beavers, Cubs & Brownies

tentEven as a child I was never one for uniformed pursuits, so I really had not given the Baden Powell movement much of a thought for some decades. However within the same week I spotted the sign for the 7th Beaver Cubs and Scouts at Rawmarsh and the Scout Headquarters at Broxholme on Grove Road in Rotherham. These two separate facts said to me quite clearly that I must set up a page for the Scouting movement. So here it. These are just some that I've found and it looks like scouting etc. is doing pretty well in Rotherham.

2007 - 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Scout movement

Beaver Cubs & Scouts

In February 2007 Matt has been in touch with the following information:-

"I was just looking round the net when I came across your web page of Scouting in Rotherham and spotted you state you can not find any central details for Scouting in Rotherham. Well here they are
Web Site: www.rotherhamscouts.org.uk
Central Number: 01709 839700 Fax: 0871 5227413 Mobile: 07711 337530
Local Call Number to join scouting in Rotherham: 0845 094 5571
Postal Address: Matt Beesley, Deputy District Commissioner, Rotherham District Scouts, Broxholme, Grove Road, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, S60 2ER.
You have some of the groups listed but to make you aware there are 24 groups within Rotherham, most of them with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and some have Explorer Scouts too. Currently in excess of 1500 members in Rotherham. Groups are located in most of the villages in Rotherham, the few that don't have one will have one in the next village."

These are just a few details I've found myself.
