Cambridge District Scout Archive
The following is a list of Churches in Cambridge whose names were attached to Scout Troops/ Groups. They were not all Controlled Groups. 28th Cambridge St John’s has been an ‘Open’ Group from foundation.
This list does not include all those churches which provided rooms and encouraged the start of Groups without attaching their name. District Groups were generally named after the village rather than the parish, although the two may be essentially identical. From local records no Cambridge District Groups (those outside Cambridge Town boundaries) have church names except the very early inclusion of 1st Newmarket All Saints.
