The 1st Keyworth Scout Group is the only Scout Group in Keyworth. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of a fantastic group of leaders, the Group offers excitement and development to over 100 children in Keyworth. There are now a Beaver Colony, two Cub Packs and a Scout Troop; the Group also hosts the District’s Eagles Explorer unit.
The Turkey Trot is the Group’s primary fundraiser, and has been a major contributor to Scouting in Keyworth since its first race in 1984. Funds are used to maintain the Scout hut (most recently replacement of the roof), and to support a wide range of activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, international events and jamborees and camps.
The 1st Keyworth Scout Group celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2009.
