Fylde District Badge   2ND KIRKHAM (ST MICHAEL'S) 
SCOUT GROUP
West Lancashire County Badge

Welcome to the 2nd Kirkham (St Michael's) Scout Group

We are a thriving Scout Group serving the area in and around the market town of Kirkham, located on the Fylde coast between Preston and Blackpool in West Lancashire. We have both boys and girls in our Group, which comprises a Beaver Scout Colony, Cub Scout Pack and a Scout Troop.

We partner the local Trogz Explorer Scout Unit and are keen supporters of Fylde District events.

We have our own, newly refurbished, Scout Hut.

New Leaders Welcome!

We are always keen to welcome new Leaders to the Group. If you are interested in helping the Group in any way, please get in touch.
