1st East Putney Scout Group

15 July 2008 '1ep garden project' launched! Many of you will be unaware that we have a garden at 1st East Putney!! Well, when we say garden, it is more like a piece of ground where we kindly let the weeds grow up to 4ft tall... But this area on the south side of the hall is under development and work has started to transform this waste ground into a wonderful garden for our children to hone their Scouting skills, plus it will provide a home for all the wildlife too.

15 July 2008 'Raise the Roof Appeal' launched! Many of you will have noticed over the past few years that our roof is in a pretty poor state. It is not surprising as our current HQ was built in 1922! Therefore it hasn't done too badly. However, there are only so many buckets that we can stratigically place around the floor to catch the uninvited rain! Therefore we have launched our most ambitious fund raising project in the history of 1st East Putney. We need to raise £100,000 to provide us with a new roof to ensure that Putney does not lose one of the oldest Scout groups in the world. We are not sure how we are going to do it... in fact we are all ears should you have any suggestions?? Click the logo below for more details and to find out what our funraising total is to date?

18 May 2008 1EP Celebrates 100 years of Scouting! We are one of the oldest scout groups in the world! In fact we may actaully be the oldest... however Baden-Powell house are unable to determine this for sure, but let's just say that we have been here for a very very long time! The group's leaders and committee members organised this special event which included a BBQ, lots of memorabillia, camp fire songs and not to mention the appearance of our Chief Scout Peter Duncan, the Mayor of Wandsworth and our local MP Justine Greening. A fabulous time was had by all, so if you'd like a chuckle, click the centenary logo below which will then teleport you seemlessly to some very embarrassing pictures and also a film capturing the event.

1st East Putney 1st East Putney is one of the oldest scout groups in the country - in fact, one of the oldest in the world! Founded in 1908, the year after Lord Baden-Powell started the movement, the group has gone from strength to strength in recent years.

Thanks to a dedicated team of leaders, helpers and a tireless Group Scout Leader, 1EP has returned to being one of the largest and most successful groups in the Scout District of Wandsworth, Putney and Roehampton.
