14th Stoke on Trent & Newcastle 2nd Newcastle 1st Basford

Welcome to the Basford Scout’s website. We are one of the 14 Groups in Newcastle under Lyme in the County of Staffordshire. Our District is in the north of the County next to the Potteries and it covers a geographical area of approximately 81 square miles (source Newcastle Borough Council).

There has been a constant Scouting presence in Newcastle since 1908 and Basford is the oldest group in the District. We are very proud of our single colour green necker.
