2nd Exeter Scout Group has operated in Heavitree for over 100 years. We celebrated our 100th birthday in 2019. The Group has met at various locations within the area but moved to the purpose-built Scout Hut on South Lawn Terrace in 1968.
The Group is now running with the highest number of members in the last 20 years, reaching nearly 200 in January 2020. We are proud to be one of the largest groups in the County providing a huge range of activities for boys and girls.
As a Scout Group, we aim to provide a balanced and varied programme for our young girls and boys, Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts aged 4 to 14 years old. Developing their minds and bodies to create good citizens of the future.

Our Family Support Fund
It’s no surprise that some families are finding it hard to keep their heads above water at the moment. The increases in interest rates, Gas and Electricity and even a loaf of bread are forcing some families to have to make some really tough decisions At on average just £3 per week Scouting is a cheap hobby however when every penny counts, we don’t want the current cost of living crisis to stop our children from Scouting
With this in mind, we launched our Family Support Fund last year to help families who are genuinely struggling to make ends meet in the hope that they will be able to allow their children to continue Scouting. Many of our Parents generously donated to our pot and this pot was then matched from our funds. The port can be used to cover 25-50% of the termly subscription and also 50% of new essential uniform from the Scout Shop.
Applications will be assessed by our Family Support Officer and Committee and is primarily aimed at families who are currently in receipt of Pupil premium but is open to all if there is an exceptional case. PLEASE CLICK HERE to find out more and make an application if you choose.
