Welcome to the 1st Appleby Magna
with Measham Scout Group's Website |
| Location
- We are an active Scout Group in North West Leicestershire, but we
attract young people from Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire and
Staffordshire as we are so close to the border of these counties.
Measham is a former coal mining village and is just inside the National
Forest boundary, while Appleby Magna is a traditional farming village a
mile up the road. |
|
History
- The 1st
Measham was first registered on the 27th December 1961. The 1st
Appleby Magna was registered on the 12th April 1972.
The 2 Groups merged in January 1999 to become the 1st
Appleby Magna with Measham. |
