We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

The Group is managed by a team of volunteers, led by Andy Hewitt as the Group Lead Volunteer and a team of dedicated section leaders. Andy has had a child involved with the Group, from Beaver to Explorer, and spent many years running the Scout section. The Group is active in running camps locally, nationally and internationally with camps at the local Braggers Wood campsite, Lake District, Devon, Denmark, Switzerland and more recently (2025) Germany.

Welcome to Highcliffe Scout Group

The Trustee Board help support the young people and leaders, look after the day to day running of the group and the building. As well as the Chairperson, Annabel Neal, Secretary, Keryn Hallett and Treasurer, Stephanie Tomkinson, there are Trustees who each bring a particular enthusiasm or skill to the team. They each contribute what they can and support each other in the tasks that need to be completed. We are hoping to expand our fund-raising team in the near future.

Further trustees are occasionally required, as people move on.  Trustees must be able to volunteer for a couple of evenings per term. If you are interested in this please contact us and we can discuss any upcoming vacancies.
