The 1^st Marks Tey Scout Group provides “Scouting” for young people in the Marks Tey, Little Tey and Copford areas. The Group originally started in 1926 but closed in 1929.

The Group was re-formed in 1956 and is currently run by a team of volunteers who give up their time freely to provide exciting and challenging programmes for the young people to undertake.

At present we offer three “Sections” of the Scouting family – Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts with the contacts within the Scouting Movement to provide for any young person wishing to progress to Explorer Scouts.

The Group undertakes a number of fund-raising events throughout the year, including our “famous” Christmas Float. Some funds are kept to aid the Group and we also make regular donations to other local charities.

At present the Group is expanding rapidly and we have:

• 21 Beavers
• 26 Cubs
• 30 Scouts
• 3 Warranted Leaders
• Numerous Adult Helpers
• Total Membership approximately 90.
