St. Andrew's Scout Group
History and Background
The Group was formed in 1925 as the 9th Luton (97th Bedfordshire) Scout
Group. It had its own headquarters which was built in 1958 adjacent to the church.
The Group is sponsored by St Andrew's church (Church of England) but is open to
members of all faiths. Indeed it's members are drawn from a wide cross section of
the community. The Group also enjoys good links with
the Guide movement in the Biscot Mill area. The
group is temporarily closed at the moment due to the re-development of the
site where it had its headquarters.
75th Anniversary celebrations
The year 2000 marked the 75th anniversary of the Group and a re-union
weekend was held during July. During the weekend current members of the Group camped
at their headquarters. On the Saturday, they took part in numerous scouting skills
activities - some of which showed them typical Scout skills from previous
generations. In the evening there was a barbecue and social event at which many
former members of the Group were present.
