YEARS IN ABINGDON
Serving the local Oxfordshire community
Based in historic Abingdon-on-Thames, our group takes full advantage of the rich Oxfordshire countryside, the River Thames, and nearby Youlbury Scout Activity Centre (the world’s first permanent scout campsite).
Every scout group wears a distinctive neckerchief. Ours features the colours a yellow body with a green and blue border. Worn with pride by Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Adult Leaders, it unites us as one family.
