"We go places. We try things. We get muddy. We learn. We laugh. And we do it together"
4th Billericay Scout Group is a busy, active Scout Group for young people aged 4–14. Based in Billericay, we're part of the Billericay & Wickford Scout District and welcome young people from across the local area.
We give young people opportunities to try new things, make friends, learn practical skills and take on challenges - all within a safe, supportive and friendly environment.
About 4th Billericay Scout Group
"Over 70 years of adventure"
4th Billericay Scout Group has been part of the local community since 1953.
While Scouting has changed enormously over the years, the idea at the heart of what we do hasn't: giving young people the opportunity to learn, explore, challenge themselves and have fun.
Today, we're a thriving local group with more than 80 young people taking part across Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
A Scout Group with a history
4th Billericay is one of the Scout Groups that make up the Billericay & Wickford Scout District.
There are groups across Billericay, Wickford, Ramsden Heath, Runwell and Stock, giving young people across the area opportunities to get involved in Scouting. We're proud to be part of that wider Scouting community, while giving our own members their own group, traditions, activities and adventures.
Part of something bigger
Everything that happens at 4th Billericay is made possible by volunteers.
Our Leaders and supporters give their time to plan activities, run meetings, organise camps and trips, look after our equipment, manage the Group and keep everything moving behind the scenes.
And it's not just about standing in front of a group of young people. There are plenty of ways to get involved, whatever your skills, interests or availability.
We're powered by volunteers
Our HQ is more than somewhere we meet each week. It's a safe space for our members.
Our volunteers help look after the building, maintain equipment, keep our facilities in good order and make sure we have a place we're proud to bring our young people to every week. It's another part of Scouting that happens behind the scenes - and another way volunteers can get involved.
More than just a Scout Hall
From putting up shelves and fixing things to maintaining camping equipment and helping with larger projects, there's always something to do.
Scouting isn't just about developing young people - our volunteers get to learn too.
Whether you're completely new to Scouting or already have years of experience, there are opportunities to build confidence, develop practical skills and gain new qualifications.
Learning opportunities can range from first aid and safeguarding to practical Scouting skills, leadership, digital skills and adventurous activities. Some learning can even lead towards nationally recognised qualifications or permits.
You don't need to arrive knowing how to run a camp, light a fire or lead a group. We'll help you learn.
