Petworth &
Pulborough
Scout District


County of West Sussex

West Sussex County Scout Site

Petworth & Pulborough Scout District

Our Scout District is made up of nine active Scout Groups situated in the West Sussex towns and villages to the north of the South Downs, stretching from Ashington in the east to Easebourne in the west.

Unfortunately a tenth Scout Group in Northchapel has had to be mothballed due to lack of adult leaders.



We also have five Explorer Scout Units within the District catering for those aged 14 to 18 years. Apart from Easebourne, they run independently of the Scout Groups although they make use of Group headquarters and other resources.

  • Enigma Explorer Scout Unit - based in Ifold

  • Griffin Explorer Scout Unit - based in Storrington

  • Phoenix Explorer Scout Unit - based in Billingshurst

  • Silver Stags Explorer Scout Unit - based in Petworth

  • Easebourne Explorer Scout Unit - based in Easebourne


West Sussex Scouts

Petworth & Pulborough Scout District is one of 12 which form Scouting in West Sussex. Within the County there are over 120 Scout Groups, many Explorer Scout Units and members of the Scout Network.



The West Sussex County Scout website has details of individual Scout Groups as well as information about past & future Scouting activities within the County. Click on the map below to locate Scouting in your area.



Alterations to some district boundaries are underway at the present time. A large change is that Haywards Heath and Southdown will combine to make a new Mid Sussex District. Also Chichester & Midhurst will simply become Chichester, with those Scout Groups north of the South Downs becoming part of Petworth & Pulborough.



Joint Activity Badge

The County sponsors a Joint Activity Badge in order to encourage and reward joint activities between members of the Scout and Guide Associations across West Sussex. To gain the badge, members of the organisations must take part in a joint activity with members of the opposite Association.
