Who we are

We are the 16th Morecambe & Heysham (Church of the Ascension) Scout Group, part of the Scout Association, and we are based in Torrisholme, Morecambe.

We are members of the Lonsdale District and West Lancashire Scout County.

The present 16th Morecambe was first officially registered with Imperial Headquarters, as it was then known, on the 28th February 1957, although from Local Association minutes and a press report, it is clear that a Group had existed in Torrisholme prior to this date. There is a fuller history here

Over the last few years, the Group has grown to over one hundred and thirty young people, spread over the Beaver, Cub, and Scout sections, and continues to prosper.

The charity details of our Group can be seen on the Charity Commission website.

There’s always a lot going on at the 16th Morecambe and across Lonsdale, from meetings for young people almost every day of the 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!

If you want to get involved with Scouting as a volunteer or gain #skillsforlife as a Beaver, Cub, or Scout, or if you have any other questions about Scouting at the 16th Morecambe, get in contact with us!
