1st Harrow Weald Scout Troop

1st Harrow Weald was founded by William Henry Peers in 1910. The group

was originally named "All Saints Scout Troop" but was changed as more

groups registered. 1st Harrow Weald is the one of the oldest groups in

the Area.

The group were originally based at Saints Church, in Uxbridge Road as

William Henry Peers was the vicar of the Church. In 1911 the group

moved to a farm barn of Harrow Weald where Waitrose now is. In 1936 the

Scouts were based at 1st Harrow Weald's current location at the top of

clamp hill.

Meetings were held in a small hut on the side until new head quarters

were completed in 1954. The hut was very basic with no mains drainage.

The only facilities were a chemical toilet and a kitchen with a cold

water tap. Heating was by a log fire.

The hut was extended to accommodate a kitchen, toilets and storeroom on

one side and mains drainage. In 1999 a large amount of money was spent

on the building, replacing the end wall and the roof.

1st Harrow Weald currently run a Beaver Colony on a

Monday, Cubs on Fridays and Scouts on late Friday evenings.

Famous members of the group have included the actor Nicholas Lyndhurst and the cricketer Angus Fraser
