4th Gainsborough (Mayflower)

4th Gainsborough, 1st Mayflower Academy Scout Group was founded in April 2019 and is a registered Scout Group. Scouting initially began at Aegir, A Specialist Academy (our Secondary School site) with 15 members and has since grown to include a Scout Troop and Explorer Scout unit based at Aegir and a Cub Scout Pack based at Warren Wood, A Specialist Academy (our Primary School site).

We currently have over 100 members across the two sites, who take part in a diverse programme aiming to prepare them with skills for life and enable them to take part in a range of outdoor and adventurous activities.

The group is only open to pupils at the Aegir/Warren Wood schools.

Scouts (Ages 10½–14)

Scouts take adventure to the next level with even more opportunities to challenge themselves and grow. Whether it’s mastering survival skills, taking part in community projects, or going on exciting camps and expeditions, Scouts build resilience, leadership, and confidence. It’s all about discovering what they’re capable of, and having a great time doing it!

Explorers (Ages 14–18)

Explorers push boundaries and take on even bigger adventures, developing leadership, resilience, and real-world skills along the way. From international trips and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to planning their own activities and supporting younger sections, Explorers are empowered to shape their own Scouting experience. It’s a space to grow, lead, and make memories that last a lifetime.
