Blyth Valley
Blyth Valley Scout District incorporates twelve Groups and an Explorer Unit.
Blyth Valley Scout District is located in the south east corner of Northumberland and was formed in 2000 by the merger of Blyth and most of Seaton Valley former Districts. Many Groups have long and proud histories and can trace their origins to the earliest days of Scouting.
There are two main towns in the District, Blyth being the largest and Cramlington the newest. In addition there are several villages including Seghill, Seaton Deleval, Seaton Sluice, Holywell and New Hartley. The area was once dominated by the heavy industries of coal mining and shipbuilding. However, in the past thirty years all the mines have closed and sites reclaimed. The Local Authorities have been successful in attracting light industries. All of the towns and villages are growing as new houses are built and regeneration schemes are completed. Therefore, there is a great opportunity for Scouting to grow within the District.
