184th 1st Kingshurst Scout Group
Charity 1131239
Overview
Summary
184th 1st Kingshurst Scout Group appears to be a youth-development organisation that uses the Scout Association’s structured programme as its operating model. Its role is broader than recreation: physical activity, skills, teamwork and residential experiences are positioned as practical routes to developing young people as capable individuals and community members. The available evidence suggests a locally delivered service connected to a larger movement, though it provides little insight into its specific local relationships, reach or distinctive priorities.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- Direct evidence: the Charity Commission record states that the charity operates in both Birmingham City and Solihull, but does not identify Birmingham neighbourhoods, wards, meeting venues or service locations.
- Direct evidence: a Solihull Council newsletter listed the group’s November 8, 2025 bonfire event in Kingshurst, Birmingham. Kingshurst is outside the supplied Birmingham ward geography, so it cannot be recorded as a Birmingham operational area.
- Reasonable interpretation: the group appears to be a local, multi-neighbourhood Scout group rather than a citywide provider. This is supported by its group identity and historic grant description, but the precise current Birmingham catchment is not publicly evidenced.
- Historic evidence from a 2019 grant description names Shard End among the areas from which the group aimed to serve children. This is insufficient on its own to conclude that the group currently operates in the Shard End ward.
Additional evidence needed
- A current official group, Scout District or Scout Association listing showing the group’s regular meeting venue(s) and the Birmingham ward in which any activity takes place.
- A current programme, membership, annual report or funding record confirming whether the group actively delivers services in Shard End or any other Birmingham neighbourhood.
- Confirmation of whether the Charity Commission's current Birmingham City operating-area declaration reflects direct delivery, a beneficiary catchment, or occasional activities.

Observations
A structured pathway from activity to citizenship
The group appears to treat activities not as ends in themselves, but as a progressive developmental pathway intended to build personal capability, social responsibility and participation in community life.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the organisation from a general youth activity provider: its apparent value lies in combining practical experiences with an explicit civic-development purpose.

Local delivery within a wider Scout infrastructure
The group appears to deliver a locally accessible programme while drawing its activity model from the Scout Association, suggesting that it combines local relationships and volunteering with a recognised national framework.
Why it matters
This may shape its capacity and opportunities: the group may benefit from established methods and progression routes, while its local contribution likely depends on how these are adapted to Kingshurst.

Development is pursued through varied, experiential settings
The combination of physical activities, skills, team building and residential experiences suggests the group may create development opportunities across settings that require independence, cooperation and practical participation.
Why it matters
This indicates a potentially complementary role alongside school-based learning or single-activity sports provision, particularly where young people benefit from repeated social and practical challenge.
