Scouting is a global, educational youth movement.  In the Uk, Scouting is organised through The scout Association.  Penycae Scout Group provides for scouting in the local area to anyone who wants to take part.  It is one of a number of Scout Groups within the Llangollen Scout District which is part of the Clwyd Scout Area.

To help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citzens and as members of their local and international communities

Even we can't solve all the problems in the world, we can help to make it a better place.  Scouting makes a positive contribution to society by heping young people to develop as active members of the community:

• who are self reliant
• who are caring
• who are responsible
• who show commitment

Scouting works well when young people enjoy learning by doing in partnershio with adults. The do this by:

• taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences
• exploring the outdoors
• participating in teams
• taking responsibility

Our method for giving young people the opportunity to learn by doing is called the Programme.  The Programme is a continuous progression of training, activities and awards that covers everything that young people do in Scouting from the age of 6 to 25.

We are a thriving Scout Group established in 1971 currently with a memberhip of 75 Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders.  The Group was at first sponsored by Zion English Baptist Church up until 1986 and is very thankful to all the support given to local scouting in those early years particularly in allowing the use of its schoolroom.  Since 1986 it has been an 'Open' Scout Group.  After five years of very hard work by many people the Group moved into its specially built Scout Headquarters located at Bryn y Barcut.  The building was officially opened in 1991 by Sir William Gladstone former Chief Scout.  Since then the Group has grown continually.
