Come and join the most celebrated Scout Group in London!

For over 100 years the 8th St Marylebone (The Diehards) has delivered high quality Scouting across North West London. Based in a fantastic ultra-modern, purpose-built headquarters in the heart of St John's Wood, off Abbey Road and just 10 minutes from Maida Vale & St John's Wood tube stations.

Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart.

Through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers from across North West London regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives and build Skills For Life.

Whether this be at weekly meetings or in the great outdoors Scouting provides a good foundation in growing up, learning to lead and work in a team and just fundamentally finding a bit more about yourself.
