Welcome to Longford Scouts

Welcome to 1st Stretford (Longford) Scout Group's website. We are an active Scout Group based at the Ranche in Longford Park in Stretford - Manchester. We've been around since 1908 and have four sections Beavers (6 to 8), Cubs (8 to 10), Scouts (10 to 14) and Explorers (14 to 18).

We prepare young people with skills for life, supported by amazing leaders delivering an inspiring programme.

For more information about the sections and our Scout Group please explore our website or if you would like more information please don't hesitate to contact us.

Returning to Scouting

As some of the government restrictions around the COVID-19 pandemic begin to relax, we’re starting to plan for how we’ll be able to return to face-to-face Scouting activities at Longford Scout Group in the future.

The return will happen in phases, the first of which will let us resume outdoor activities in small groups. Returning to face-to-face Scouting is voluntary for all young people, parents/carers and volunteers.

Over the summer we’ll share more detailed plans for the new safety measures we’re putting in place soon, and we’d encourage all parents and carers, young people and volunteers to raise concerns, ask questions and provide feedback.
