About Us
12th Forest Hill is part of Lewisham District, which covers a network of 26 Groups with about 1,000 memberships in the Borough. This group opened on 23rd November 1972 and is a registered charity. We have a 60 acre camp site near Addington in Surrey called Frylands Wood. The Group’s Youth Programme is run by Warranted Leaders, led by a Group Scout Leader. The Group is largely administered by an elected Executive Committee upon which the Parish Priest is represented.
What we do
Scouting aims to empower young people by giving them the skills they need to take control of their own lives within a value based structure. We run our groups at The Scout Hut, St German’s Road on Thursdays at different times for each group. Young people take part in the decision making at all levels of the Association.
