Activities
1st Brussels (British) Scout Group.

Our group started in 1925 which makes us the oldest British group in Belgium. Most of us go to international schools and moved when our parents got a job here. As many of us only stay for a short time it's easier to join an English language group.

We are members of the British Scouts Western Europe (BSWE) Belux District and follow the same programme as groups in the UK. We have about 200 members of all ages and strong links with the District Explorer group.

If you're between 6 and 18 years old and live in or near East Brussels and have English speaking parents or go to an English section at an international school then maybe you'd enjoy Scouting with us. You can contact us to join our waiting list.

There are also opportunities for those over 14 to take part in the International Award (Duke of Edinburghs Award scheme) with the Explorer section or by working with a unit as part of their service requirement.

Adults aged 18-65 who enjoy working with children and young people are also needed as leaders and helpers. We have a large turnover as people come and go from Brussels so there are plenty of opportunities.
