We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

Welcome to the 1st Camps Bay Scout Group website. At over 100 years old we are one of the oldest Scout groups in South Africa with a rich Scouting history.

1st Camps Bay offers a Cub and Scout programme to children from 7 to 17. Join us for a fantastic journey of discovery and self-fulfillment in Camps Bay, Cape Town surrounded by the Little Glen nature reserve, the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic slopes of the Table Mountain National Park.
