Our Journey & Growth
In January 2016, we began the process of establishing our sections as an independent group. Thanks to the dedication of our leaders and the support of the District, we proudly paraded under our own colours on St George’s Day. By mid-April, we were officially recognised as 12th Aylesbury (1st Buckingham Park), marking the start of an exciting new chapter.
We started small, with just two Beaver leaders and three parents who became Cub leaders. Over time, both sections grew, with a third Beaver leader joining our ranks. We also began recruiting Scout leaders, with plans for a new section by the end of 2017.
We were fortunate to receive strong backing from our trustees and the wider community. After five years of collaboration with the Aylesbury District, we were able to expand into the growing Kingsbrook area. Plans were set in motion to launch all sections there in 2022.

Teamwork Was Key
We believed in the power of teamwork, and many adults who volunteered with us found that Scouting offered unexpected rewards — not only for the young people but for themselves as well. The experiences, skills, and camaraderie gained proved invaluable.

Exciting Changes Took Place
Since the opening of the Kingsbrook sections, we continued to grow and thrive. On 1st May 2025, we reached a significant milestone: the group split into two distinct units:

  • 12th Aylesbury, covering Kingsbrook
  • 11th Aylesbury, covering Buckingham Park, Watermead, and Quarrendon

  • How People Got Involved
    We were always looking for people to join our vibrant community. Whether they were skilled in finance and could serve as treasurer, wanted to contribute as a trustee, or were interested in volunteering with the sections, we welcomed everyone. We also appreciated those who helped at camps, competitions, and other activities.
    We encouraged anyone interested in helping or learning more to get in touch with us. We always looked forward to hearing from those who wanted to be a part of our journey
