Welcome to 27th Plymouth Scout Group
Our Scout Group is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who give their time freely for the benefit of Scouting in Compton, Plymouth. Our aim is to fulfil the purpose of the Scout movement by promoting the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national, and international communities.
We can offer your child lots of activities, fun, new adventures and challenges. Your child will be encouraged to join in all the activities we have to offer and gain as much out of it as they can. For details of the various section meetings please follow the appropriate link or Icon.
27th Plymouth Scout group are based at Compton Church Hall, Eggbuckland Road which is situated next to the Methodist Church at Compton and the Rising Sun Pub. We also have our own campsite at Shaugh Bridge where we regularly have meetings in the Summer term.
To belong to the group a subscription is charged on a School Term basis. The current cost per term is £25.00 or £70 for the year if paid by the end of the summer term. Attendances at Camp and weekend activities attract an additional cost, which are advised at the appropriate time. All children are required to wear the standard Scout uniform appropriate to their section. (see group information).

Tinga Tinga Trousers (Activity Pants)
We also sell a range of adult and child size trousers in a range of jazzy and reserved colours. They are handmade using selected fibres which not only make them strong and quick drying but provides the comfort of cotton. The high quality-finish has been achieved using environmentally-friendly dyes and printing. They are made in Kenya by an equal opportunities employer and against child labour.
The Tinga tingas are very practical for camps and outdoor activities. and come right through from child medium to adult XXL. please phone 0845 456 1498 to discuss your requirements. The small profit we make on each pair goes to group funds.
