⚜️ About 3rd Farnworth Scouts
3rd Farnworth Scouts is a friendly and welcoming Scout Group providing fun, adventure and skills for life to young people in our local community. We are proud to be part of the wider UK Scout movement, helping young people grow in confidence through teamwork, challenge and new experiences.
📖 Our History
3rd Farnworth began as Farnworth Grammar School’s own Scout Troop, building a proud tradition of forward-thinking Scouting in the district.
The group was reformed by Graham Marrs, who served as our first Group Scout Leader until 1996. We were also the first group in Farnworth district to start a Beaver section.
As the first group in Farnworth to vote to allow girls into Scouting, we proudly invested our first girls into the Scout section.
Phil Webster took on the role of Acting Group Scout Leader, continuing to grow the group.
Darren Williams became Group Scout Leader, leading the group to where it is today — a thriving community of nearly 40 young people.
🏕️ Our Group Today
Today we are a thriving Scout Group with four active sections and nearly 40 young people enjoying weekly meetings and activities. Our dedicated team of adult volunteers, supported by young leaders and parents, work hard to provide a safe, inclusive and exciting programme for everyone.
From outdoor adventures and camping to games, challenges and community activities, we aim to help every young person develop confidence, independence and skills for life.
