SCOUT GROUP
West Lancashire County Badge Award For All Logo

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 a Beaver Scout Colony, a Cub Scout Pack and a Scout Troop, and support a local Explorer Scout Unit. In March we had 24 Beavers, 26 Cubs and 31 Scouts.

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.
