After many months of hosting & software choice, site design, coding and restarting it all over again (more than once) we have great pleasure in releasing the new Harpenden and Wheathampstead District Scout website. Firstly here are a few words from the DC...

As District Commissioner for Scouting in Harpenden and Wheathampstead it is my duty to help scouts of all ages, their leaders and their families, to get the most out of being part of the Scout Association. This website is devoted to everything to do with Beavers, Cubs, Scouts , Explorers and Scout Network in our district. It is a great resource for all of us. I hope you find what you need here. And if you don’t, I hope you can help to bring more to the website for other users to enjoy.

We are proud to have over 1200 young people participating in Scouting in our district. That’s about a third of all young people who fit the age range, an amazing proportion. One of the songs that is very popular with the hundreds of boys and girls who get involved with our annual Gang Show is Heather Small’s “What have you done today, to make you feel proud?” It’s not a question that our scouts struggle to answer when they are achieving new goals at their weekly meetings, having immense fun on camps and expeditions, and contributing to the community through projects for the environment, fundraising for good causes, and simply becoming more rounded human beings.

If you are not already involved, take the plunge today. If you are involved, dive deeper!

Jane Murray
District Commissioner
