Grantham District Scouts
Scouting in Grantham started in 1907 with the Revd Cook starting a single group. By 1909 there were 4 groups in Grantham and the District Scouts were formed, however it was not until 1911 that The Scout Association officially granted Grantham the status of District within the national movement.

The District saw several changes over the next few years, notably with the First World War reducing the number of groups to two.

Scouting saw a resergance after the First World War, with 5th, 6th and 7th Grantham being formed by 1934.

Yet again the War effort of the Second World War saw Scout groups close as their leaders went into active service. It was at this time that 1st and 7th Grantham merged, keeping the name 7th Grantham.
