About ROCHDALE SCOUT CENTRE (1st/6th Edgware Scout Group)
The building was completely refurbished in 2003 to provide a modern, up to date, multi functional building for the 1st/6th Edgware Scout Group to continue, as we have done for the past 106 years, to provide 21st Century Scouting activities in Edgware, Queensbury & Little Stanmore.
The RochDale Scout Centre is located in a quiet residential area of Edgware, Middlesex close to the A5 Edgware Road and is easily accessible from the M1, public transport is available nearby, with bus services and 3 tube stations(Burnt Oak, Queensbury & Edgware). The building is suitable for a wide variety of activities and events and 90% of the building is accessible to wheelchair users. Currently, apart from Scouts and Guides the Scout Centre is used on a regular basis by a morning pre-school, an all-day Montessori Nursery, a keep fit group, an art & craft club and a childrens karate club.
The RochDale Scout Centre has a large activity/sports hall with a large catering size kitchen. For meetings and functions the hall can seat up to 150 people. On the front first floor is a small meeting/club room which can seat up to 30 people, unfortunately this part of the building is not accessible to disable persons in wheelchairs
In the new rear annex is a large, first floor education, training and meeting room, with its own kitchenette and adjacent toilets and can hold up 50 people in a bright, airy environment. Disabled access to this room is available using a wheelchair lift.
