1ST FRESSINGFIELD SCOUT GROUP 

We can be found at the Scout Headquarters, Goodwin Hall, Fressingfield, We draw members in from villages around a ten mile radius and beyond. We are a very active group and now have over 100 members ranging from Beavers aged 6 to Explorers aged 18. We use local facilities to enhance the range of activities for members, including weekend and Group camps, with links to two local primary schools.
