Scouting was started in Long Ashton in 1918 by Rev. Thatcher and the Scouts met in the Congregational Church Hall. By 1923, meetings had moved to Church House. Registered as 125th Bristol, the Scoutmaster was Norman Triggs and was succeeded by  Mr C.H Locke in 1933. At this time, the Troop (numbered 10) met on a Tuesday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons. However, the 1933 report does not give a HQ location. It is thought that the boys met in a barn on one of the farms in the village. The neckerchief in 1933 was purple with an orange border. By 1937, there is no Scout Group listed for Long Ashton. 

​

In 1949, Long Ashton 'All Saints' were registered as the 25th Bristol and were back at the Church House under the leadership of Mr L. Elliot. In 1951, Cubs were listed as meeting on Mondays at 6pm, with Scouts meeting on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. The neckerchief was listed as being crimson and lemon. 

In 1955, the Group purchased Headquarters at 60 Providence Lane. After repairs to the building were made, the HQ was opened on August 24th 1957. Since then, the Group has replaced the roof, converted two rooms and covered the front yard to form a foyer, kitchen and toilets. 

​

In 1960, Mr Fred Thompson was listed as running the Group, which he did until he emigrated to Australia. The Group was then taken over by David Watkins, who ran the Group until 1999. On his retirement, David was awarded the associations’ highest award for service the 'Silver Wolf' award. 

​

In 1999 Steve Tuckfield became leader in charge of the Group and as a new century began, Group numbers were up to around 70 boys and 12 leaders and helpers. 

Today we operate under the leadership of Group Scout Leader Heather Clark. We have two Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs and two Scout Troops. We are an inclusive and mixed group, encouraging participation by children of all genders and backgrounds.

The neckerchief of the Long Ashton All Saints Group has the distinctive colours of dark red and lemon and has the Group Badge sewn onto the back. In 1990, designs for the Group Badge were sought from members of the Group. Local artist, Patrick Collins took the ideas and designs and turned them into the badge we have today. 

The Group Badge is made up of four aspects of Long Ashton life both past and present;
