Welcome to 23rd Stretford (St Matthew’s & Victoria) Scout Group. We are a Scout Group based in Victoria Park in Stretford, Manchester with Scout, Cub and Beaver sections.
The Group runs a very full and active programme for all sections based around traditional Scouting activities. For example, hiking, camping, fire-lighting, cooking, kayaking, climbing and pioneering.
We have weekly meetings at Victoria Road Scout Hut and take part in external activities and events such as festivals and camps. Similarly, we take part in many other inclusive extra-curricular activities. Our activities are designed to engage the mind and improve social skills. Above all, we aim to uphold the Scouting values.
We have the following sections:
6 – 8 years
Beavers meet weekly and take part in a wide range of activities. For instance, games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.
8 – 10 years
Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 – a mixture of both girls and boys who enjoy socialising in addition to taking part in lots of fun and exciting activities.
10 – 14 years
Scouts are young people, aged between 10 and 14 years who like making new friends and getting involved in new activities and as a result, making new friends!
