About:

Set in the heart of the New Forest National Park, and just 90 minutes by train from London, 2nd Copythorne "Stanley's Own" Scout Group is one of the longest established Scout Groups and was founded in 1910 by Major RCH Sloane-Stanley of Paultons. Being a colleague of Baden Powell, Sloane Stanley took a passionate interest in the newly formed Scout Movement.

The original Scout Hut was built in 1912 and is properly one of the oldest Headquarters in Hampshire still in use.
