The District

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

About our district

South Devon District Scouts consist of 15 Scout Groups covering the South Hams and the eastern suburbs of Plymouth, up to the River Plym. The district has two Explorer Units, one based in the South Hams and the other in Plympton. The district and groups is managed by volunteer managers and volunteer executive committees.

Be part of our adventure

The adventure starts as a Beaver, which is the first section in Scouting in South Devon and then you can progress onto CubsScoutsExplorers, Network and then leadership.

Joining Us

You can join any section at any point providing you fit into the relevant age range.

Could you be a flexible volunteer?

Children across South Devon are currently on waiting lists to join local groups.  Help us make a difference in their lives by sharing your skills.  Whether you’re an experienced leader, newcomer or would rather take a backseat role, we welcome you to join our community and provide inspiring experiences for young people.  Contact us to learn more and get started.  Find out more
