Barley Scouts Hut

We are part of the Royston Scout District in Hertfordshire, located in the Scout Hut, behind the Town House on Church End in Barley.  

 
The "Barkway" part of our name comes from where our scout group first started which was in the reading rooms at Barkway. The group started with just a Cub Pack. We eventually raised enough money to build own headquarters at Barley. 
 
Our Scout group provides Scouting for girls and boys from 6 to 14 years.  
 
Beavers: 6-8 years meet Thursdays  
Beaver scouts are the youngest section in the Scout movement. Members enjoy a lively programme of activities based on the motto Fun and Friends. Beaver scouting is about joining together for a combination of learning and fun.  

Cubs: 8-10.5 years meet Wednesday   
Cub scouting is where the challenge and adventure really starts to take off. Cubs take part in a wide range of activities from crafts and camping to acting and abseiling. It's possible to gain a variety of activity badges. The element of choice is important as youngster' progress through the training programme, with the emphasis on the effort made by cub scouts based on their personal level of ability.
