Where We Are

      Skills for Life in Caterham & District

      Caterham District Scouts nestles between London and Surrey, offering adventure and skills to young people across Caterham, Chaldon, Hamsey Green, Warlingham, Whyteleafe, and Woldingham.

      We are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. From our youngest Squirrels to our adventurous Explorers, we help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright. Whether it is camping, hiking, kayaking, or simply making new friends, our 11 groups provide an active programme tailored to every ability.

      Scouting in our district isn’t just about the outdoors; it is about teamwork, resilience, and community. We facilitate safe, fun environments where young people (aged 4–18) can discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

      — Our Story
