100th Oldham Scout Group was formed as a merger of 2nd Royton (Ss. Aidan & Oswald) and 15th Chadderton (St. Herberts) in 2018. Since then the group has grown in numbers and we look forward to welcoming new members, both boys and girls, between the age of six and fourteen.
In addition to the regular Monday night meets, the group organise summer and winter camps for all sections as well as linking in with local district events.
Achievement is celebrated at presentation evenings on a six monthly basis, when badges are awarded for the activities undertaken . Families are invited to these presentations to share in the success of our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts whilst enjoying a fun night out together.
The Group Scout Leader is Damian Aston and the Assistant GSL is JP Aston.
Leaders are Karen Connolly, Joanne Aston and Philip Bridge.
Young Leaders are :- Georgia Ford, Patrick Heverin, Lucas Lee, Aaron Canny and Freddie Hamer
The committee is made up of Chair :- Michael Aston, Secretary :- Claire Lockett, Treasurer :- Peter Connolly, GSL:- Damian Aston, AGSL :- JP Aston, Claire Foden, Karen Connolly and Joanne Aston..

Parent helpers are really appreciated, so if you can spare an hour or two to assist our Leaders on group nights or at camps etc., please let us know and we will make you very welcome.
