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.

2009 Lord Derby Competition

The 2009 Lord Derby competition had 8 teams competing in 11 bases in April. These included making camp doughnuts, putting up a tent blindfold, skiing with carrying water and getting the team 1 metre off the ground. Well done to the 4th Wigan who won the competition, 43rd Salford for coming second and 1st Gorsehill for coming third. All teams learnt something new on what turned out to a very sunny day in Dunham.
