The 19th Hendon Scout Group was proudly founded on 13th January 1947, in the spirit of post-war rebuilding and renewal that swept across the United Kingdom. Nestled in the heart of Mill Hill, the group began its journey as the 19th Hendon (6th Mill Hill) St. Michael’s Mill Hill, initially serving the parish of St Michael and All Angels, Mill Hill. Born in a time of great national change, the group was established to offer local youth the chance for adventure, personal development, and service to the community, embodying the very best of British values.
From its earliest days, the group demonstrated a spirit of camaraderie, resilience, and dedication to the principles of Scouting—duty, loyalty, and community service—that resonated deeply within Mill Hill. As it grew, it extended far beyond its parish roots, becoming a cherished part of the wider community. For decades, the 19th Hendon Scout Group has been a cornerstone of Mill Hill life, shaping the character of countless young people with a sense of pride, honour, and duty.
In 2024, a new and significant chapter unfolded when the 21st Hendon (3rd Mill Hill) joined the 19th Hendon family, marking a moment of unity and shared purpose. To honour the legacy and proud history of the 21st Hendon, the group’s name was respectfully amended to 19th Hendon (3rd Mill Hill), symbolising a commitment to tradition, unity, and service. Today, as it has for generations, the 19th Hendon Scout Group continues to stand as a beacon of community spirit and pride, upholding the values that define the very best of Mill Hill and Britain.
