The Avenue House Service Team was established in October 1970 from the dying embers of the Avenue House Venture Scout Unit. A Unit that was part of Finchley, Friern Barnet and Golders Green District Scouts (now Barnet Borough District) in Greater London North. Members met at ‘The Den’ on the Avenue House Estate in Finchley.
Although the Service Team only remained operational until shortly after the introduction of the Scout Fellowship in 1976 many long term friendships were cemented and the Team is not only remembered fondly but still active in its own unique way.
Some 40 years after the Unit formed, past members together with other ex and existing scouters from the District, still meet once a year for what has become The Annual Winter Hike. Only now though (November 2010) has it been decided to share our experiences through the creation of this web site.
It is hoped that this site will expand over the coming months to include more information about the work and activities undertaken by the Team. In the meantime though it focuses on the Hikes and Camps.
