  The Scouting movement was started by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907 and the first units were formed in 1908.
The first troop in Hawley followed the military background of Baden - Powell and was started by Mr Belcher, a sergeant at the R.M.C. in 1909. When he was posted it ceased to exist until they were affiliated to the R.M.C. troop under a Sergeant Dawes. Once again the Army transferred the Scoutmaster but another two patrols were formed when a Sergeant Nolan arrived.
In 1920 the 1st Hawley Boy Scouts under the auspices of their Scoutmaster Mr Stevens seemed to be still functioning. They attended a parade at the R.M.C. where they were congratulated on being the smartest troop in the district!
In July of that year there was a Grand Rally of the Aldershot Boy Scout Association and they won first place in the tent pegging competition and second place in the bridge building exercise. However accounts of their activities were still sparse and it wasn't until 1923 that they became active once more in Hawley when Canon Glennie, the vicar of the church, wrote "... the Hawley Church troop of Boy Scouts has come to life again". He became the Scoutmaster and twenty boys formed four patrols. They were present at the Aldershot Tattoo in 1928.
