St. Mary Barnes Scout Group is sponsored by St. Mary Barnes Church. It is not a "closed" Group and members of the Group are not expected to be members of the Church. However, all members of the Group are expected to attend Church Parades, unless:
- they have a simultaneous commitment at another church
- belong to a religious organisation, membership of which is incompatible with attendance at an Anglican Church
- they are ill
Children also have an obligation to attend the annual St. George's Day Parade and renewal of their Promise in April. Acceptance of these obligations is a condition of the membership of St. Mary Barnes Scout Group.
There are sections for:
- Beavers for girls and boys from ages 6 to 8 with meetings on both Tuesday (Tigers) at 5:30 to 7:00pm and Friday (Falcons) at 5:30 until 7:00pm.
- Two Cub Packs for girls and boys from ages 8 to 10½ - Blue Pack meet on Thursday nights from 6 until 7:30pm and Yellow Pack on Wednesday from 6:30 until 8pm
- Scouts for boys and girls aged 10½ - 14½ and meet on a Tuesday night from 7:30 - 9pm
