A message from the District Commissioner

John Cronin, District Commissioner

Welcome to the online presence of Scouting covering the London boroughs of Camden, City of London and Islington (CCI). Our District covers a huge range of diverse areas in London, running from West Kilburn 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.

All of our Groups are open to boys and girls, of any faith, any background and ability. Many are fully operational across the whole age range of six years and above. We are always keen to encourage new members to join – youth and adult. Scouting is for everyone who is “young at heart”. Our Headquarters at the Scout Centre on Holloway Road welcomes those interested in Scouting from all walks of life and from all over the world.

It is planned that the current building will be redeveloped as part of a large project in the area, from late 2010 through to 2012 and will then provide us with a brand new, purpose built facility. There is a Scout Group in your area for sure, so feel free to explore the website to find out more, or if you would like to speak to someone, all of our details are shown on the contact page.
