A century of adventure
Since 1909, Scouting on the Isle of Man has grown into one of the island's most recognised youth organisations — building character, resilience, and community.
From Malew to the World
The 1st Malew Group was the first Scout Group on the Isle of Man, originally called 1st Isle of Man before being renamed as other groups formed. Their red and white scarf reflects close ties with the Air Scouts.
The Island has strong historical ties with Irish Scouting, fostered under the patronage of Sir Charles Kerruish, Speaker of the House of Keys, who facilitated the use of his own lands for Scout camping.
The Scout Association's Patron is the Lieutenant Governor, and its President is Peter Kelly/ Mullin ny Carty campsite serves as our defacto HQ and as our outdoor centre.
