1ST EYE SCOUT GROUP

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, the 1st Eye Scout Group gives young people of Eye and the surrounding area the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure whilst developing the skills they need to succeed.
