Birtley Scouts

Who we are

We are the 5th Birtley Scouts, part of the UK’s biggest mixed youth organisation.

We change lives by offering 6- to 14-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and skills for life.

Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.

What’s on

There’s always a lot going on at the 5th Birtley and across Gateshead, from meetings for young people once a week; to camps, activities and adventures every weekend!

These can be a Beaver’s first night away from home all the way up to an Scout cooking their first meal on a fire!
