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

Welcome to 1st Earls Colne Scout Group

A group that has been in existence since 1919. We are based in the heart of the Colne Valley and can be found at The Scout Hut, Station Road, Earls Colne, Colchester CO6 2ER.

1st Earls Colne Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Sure we go camping, hiking, abseiling, and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week having fun, playing games and taking on new challenges.
