Welcome Greater Manchester West County Scouts Online

GMWBadgeThe county (Greater Manchester West) covers the Metropolitan boroughs of Salford, Trafford and Wigan.

The county is very active and we hope this website will give you an insight into what we do.

Cubs have flight night!

I recently visited 3rd Swinton Cubs who had been joined by the Beavers for the night when the Lancashire Hawks and Owls Roadshow flew in.

The Cubs and Beavers (and leaders) were able to hold and stroke some of these magnificent birds of prey.  One of the highlights was when the European Eagle Owl called Jammu flew across the room and everyone clapped which was the signal for Purdey the Barn Owl to start to dance on her perch!  Everyone had the most fantastic night.
