1ST AYLESFORD SCOUT GROUP
As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, the 1st Aylesford Scout Group give young people of Aylesford and surrounding villages the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed.
