Welcome to the home of Skills for Life since 1910

We are 2nd Copythorne “Stanley’s Own” Scout Group and everyone’s welcome here. We’ve been going since 1910 when our group was founded by Major Sloane-Stanley, hence our name to this day as Stanley’s Own.

We are one of the oldest groups in the county, founded by Major R. C. H. Sloane-Stanley, a colleague of Scouting’s founder Baden-Powell and of Paulton’s fame. That’s why we are called “Stanley’s Own” and we’ve been going strong ever since. We have over 200 young people meeting here each week.
