Welcome to the 7th Crawley Scout Group. We are based in the Furnace Green area of the Town. I hope that your son/ daughter will enjoy their time with us and learn not only exciting and challenging life skills but will also have the opportunity of tackling many new activities and adventurous pursuits.
7th Crawley was formed in 1966. We were awarded the County Standard in 2004, an achievement of which we are all justly proud and we have retained this distinction ever since.
The Group is comprised of three Sections:
Beavers: ;The Colony caters for boys and girls aged between 6 and 8 years
Meeting night – Tuesdays: 5.45pm – 6.45pm
Cubs: The Pack caters for boys and girls aged between 8 & 10 ½ years
Meeting night – Tuesdays: 7.00pm – 8.30pm
Scouts: The Troop caters for boys and girls aged between 10 ½ and 15 years
Meeting night – Fridays: 7.30pm – 9.30pm
We have a small but dedicated Leader Team. All our leaders are unpaid volunteers who give up their time and talents to ensure that a high standard of Scouting skills, activities and challenges is offered to all of our young members. Please refer to the tab ‘Leader Team’ on the left of this page for more information.
Our uniformed Sections are supported by the Group Executive which is a body of uniformed and non-uniformed members of the Group who are again all volunteers and act as Trustees under the Charities Act. We are specifically charged with ensuring that the Group functions properly and effectively and keeps within the rules, regulations and requirements as laid down by both the Scout Association and the Charities Commission. Please refer to the tab ‘Group Executive’ on the left of this page for more information.
The Scout movement is ever growi ng and we at 7th Crawley are all very proud of the contribution that all the volunteer leaders, supporters, parents and, especially the young members make to this Group

7th Crawley Cub Pack – Sponsored Silence Appeal – Help a Kenyan Scout
In the summer 2010 one of our Explorer Scouts attended an International Scout Moot (a big international Scout camp for 18-25s) held in Kenya. Whilst he was there he met a Kenyan Scout named Alex who gave up his time to help the English contingent. He was kind, honest, extremely polite, helpful and giving even though he had nothing. During the week our Scout visited the primary school Alex went to, his house (little more than a hut, smaller than most British front rooms) and met his family.
Alex wants to work his way out of poverty by studying for qualifications which will enable him to get a secure, well paid job and support his family. His family is supported almost solely by his mother who somehow manages to pull together enough money to pay rent each month and food, and cannot afford to send him to college or university. She takes in laundry which she does by hand.
The 7th Crawley Scout Group wants to help Alex to achieve his ambition and has offered to try to raise funding for him.
