Dipton is a former pit village located in the district of Derwentside in County Durham in the north east of England.

The group has been running continuously since 1929 and is almost unique, being a joint scout and guide group.
We have six sections in the group, which provide a wide range of exciting activities for young people aged between 5 and 14. At present we have almost 70 members.
For those over 14 there is also the District Explorer Scout Unit.
Below is a list of all our sections with their age ranges. For further information on any section please click on their link down the left hand side, or you can email us at administrator@1stdipton.com. Please give a postal address for us to reply to.
