Welcome to

North London Scout District

Welcome to the online presence of Scouting in North London Scout District: covering the London boroughs of Camden, the City of London, Haringey and Islington. Our District covers a huge range of diverse areas in London, running from Tottenham and Muswell Hill through Hampstead to Islington, by way of Holborn and on to the City.

Some of our Groups have been operational from the very earliest days of Scouting and we pride ourselves in the way that we are able to provide an excellent range of exciting Scouting activities at all levels. We are always keen to encourage new members to join – youth and adult. Scouting is for everyone who is “young at heart”.

We have a great campsite and activity centre at Scout Park in Bounds Green and for decades our building on Holloway Road has welcomed those interested in Scouting from all walks of life and from all over the world. Now the site has been redeveloped with a brand new, purpose-built facility for training and activities – the Ramsay Scout Centre.

Explore the website to find out more about scouting in our district or if you would like to speak to someone, all of our details are shown on the contact page.

Ramadan in North London

Some of our Scouts from 21st Holborn observed Iftar, ending their daily fast together, at Iftar Under The Stars at Gilwell Park. This event is organised by the Muslim Scout Fellowship – you can find out more about the amazing work they do here. We asked one of our Scouts to tell us more about Ramadan, and how some of our Muslim Scouts have been celebrating it.
