About us

Location

Someries District covers three major residential areas in Luton: from Bushmead to the Airport taking in Stopsley, Hightown and Wigmore (east of the A6 New Bedford Road and the Lower Harpenden Road).

History of Someries District

The Someries District was formed in 1967. Since then, as a result of re-organisation and changes in local needs, two Groups have been closed and a third transferred to another Luton District. Meanwhile new Groups have been opened and Someries District now has eight thriving Scout Groups, including an Air Scouts Group. The District also has a strong Explorer Scout Unit and an equally active District Fellowship.

Someries Castle

The District Badge

Our badge shows Someries Castle which is located just South of Luton and from it the District takes its name. The castle is now a ruin, but well worth a visit (Ordnance Survey map ref. TL119201)
