Welcome
We would like to welcome you and your child to Alva Scout Group.
1st Alva Scouts were established in 1912 and the current hall was built in 1974 after extensive fundraising. The hall is located in the Johnstone Park
As a leadership team we offer challenge and adventure to all our members. We believe in helping our young people fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. We are working to make Scouting available to all and we are passionate about what we do The Group offers an active programme for boys and girls 6 years and upwards in the following Sections: Beavers, Cubs & Scouts.
