2nd Birkenhead Scoup Group
The first two Boy Scout groups in the world were founded as the 1st and 2nd Birkenhead groups at the YMCA on the same night in 1908.
The former YMCA building in Grange Road, erected at the cost of £9,000, was opened in 1890, as the headquarters of the Birkenhead YMCA and had originally occupied premises in Conway Street. It was was here in the Grange Road YMCA that Lord Baden Powell held the inaugural meeting of the Boy Scout Movement on 24th January 1908.
