Bury and Ramsbottom Scouts to Merge with Prestwich, Radcliffe and Whitefield Scouting District 

Following on from the consultation period in relation to the merging of both Bury & Ramsbottom and Prestwich, Radcliffe and Whitefield Scout Districts the decision has been made that this will go ahead.

Thank you to those who took the time to participate.  If you have any questions regarding the process, please feel free to contact me.

What we now need from you as Adult Volunteers

1st April to 1st May 2026

Competition for all Adult Volunteers to devise the name of the new District. It has already been decided that the new name will NOT contain any of the names currently within the Districts (i.e., will not include Bury, Ramsbottom, Prestwich, Radcliffe or Whitefield). 

To share your idea, please follow the link below.

New District Name Submission – Fill in form

After the 1st May we will put the nominated names to the vote and go with the favourite.  (No idea what the prize will be yet, but will come up with it)

Following later in May will be a competition for the young people within the District to design the new badge.

Further updates will be shared throughout the next few months.

Thank you again for everything you do for the young people in our local area.
