Welcome to 1st Heaton Norris

At 1st Heaton Norris, we are dedicated to creating engaging and dynamic programmes that provide our young people with countless opportunities to have fun while simultaneously learning new skills and mastering existing ones. 

Scouting is fundamentally about building friendships and participating in adventurous experiences that many may not typically have the chance to enjoy. As a Scout, you will equip yourself with valuable skills at a young age - skills that others may not gain until much later in life. From practical skills like tying knots and lashings, to the art of building fires, and safely using saws, knives, and axes; to the very basics of pitching tents and reading maps, every aspect of Scouting prepares you for the future. Aside from the ability to survive in the wild, you will also learn critical first aid techniques and appreciate how to work well as a team - these invaluable lessons and experiences all begin right here at 1st Heaton Norris.
