The aim of these pages is to tell you more about who we are and what we do. By clicking on the buttons to the left or right you can visit each section or activity.
Clayton West Scout Group was revived in the early 1970's continuing Scouting in Clayton West and Scissett from the 1920's.We have a long heritage and we hope that Scouting will be a part of the local community long into the future.
Our members come mainly from Clayton West, but we also draw from Denby Dale, Emley, Scissett, Skelmanthorpe, Shelley, High Hoyland and Lepton. Ages range from 6 upwards and we are mixed sex throughout the Group.
We have no affiliations to any religious body and offer an open membership based around traditional principles which we believe are common to all beliefs.
People wishing to join Scouts should contact the Scout Leader to check on availability. Clayton West Scout Group now has a waiting list for Beavers and Cubs. Depending upon the time of year there may be a waiting list for Scouts. Parents wishing their child to join Beavers or Cubs will need to put their names on a waiting list. Please contact the Beaver and Cub Leaders.
If you have any questions you can contact us using the buttons on the left.
The new Thursday Beaver Colony is now full and we have just a few spaces on Mondays.
We fully expect there to be a turnover of members as it is expected that one or two new Beavers might come to realise that this is not for them, so it is worthwhile putting names on the waiting list if you are still looking for a place.
We also need adult help at the Thursday night Colony so will be putting a parent rota up in the entrance hall, and will be looking for volunteers to join the team. If you are interested contact

Explorers Paddle Own Canoe
Explorers Paddle Own Canoe
Explorers from Clayton West have started learning to Canoe on Leeds Road Canal. The aim is to reach a BCU 2 Star level and undertake an expedition later this year.
Ultimately the Unit is hoping to visit Germany and paddle one of the many touring rivers in the east of the country.
Queen Scout, Bryony Balen, is the youngest Briton to ski to the South Pole, tackling hostile conditions to reach her goal in the centenary year of Scott's expedition.
Nearly 3,000 Scouts and 850 adult volunteers made the most of the unusually mild weekend as they climbed, off-roaded and even ice skated at Gilwell Park's Wintercamp.
