The 18th Wyre Forest Scout Group (Areley Kings) also known as WF18 is a scout group based in the village of Areley Kings just outside Stourport On Severn, Worcestershire, UK – the group is based on the playing fields by Areley Kings Village Hall and meets at their own scout hut facilities. Our main catchment area is Areley Kings, Stourport On Severn and surrounding villages.

Originally formed in 1926, the group have gone from strength to strength and are currently part of Wyre Forest District scouting which is one of the strongest in the country. The group is part of the UK scouting movement, more information can be found at www.scouts.org

At the annual census in January 2023, the Group was circa 80 members strong with a leadership team of around 15 adults and 1 young leaders. We are currently applying to be a registered charity outright and fund our events from a mixture of termly fees, gift aid, donations and grants.
