presently, gozo has 2 scout groups, the victoria scout group and the xagħra scout group. the latter group was one of the first scout groups to be set up in gozo and was one of the most active groups in the 1930s. in 1952 another attempt at reviving the group was made. in the 1970s, on the initiative of vincent vella, a leader with the żejtun group, the xagħra scout group was revived. the same scout leader was instrumental in reopening the xagħra scout group in may 2008.this scout group recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. presently the victoria scout group boasts of around 130 members, divided into four sections: cubs, scouts, venture scouts and rover scouts. this number also includes the members of the group council. the number of members in the xagħra scout group amount to 111. this also includes members of their group council. the xagħra group is divided into four sections: the beaver colony, the pack section, the scout troop and the venture unit. the first gsl was mr vincent vella who occupied the post from 2008 to 2012. in june 2012, ms loraine borg became the 2nd gsl for the xagħra group. the present group scout leader is mr josmar azzopardi and he has occupied the post since october 2017. the xagħra scout group can also boast of owning its own headquarters which was inaugurated in may 2016. during the year, the two scout groups organise several joint activities. throughout the years, the victoria scout group has received several recognitions for the services rendered to the gozitan community. the venture unit was placed 2nd amongst 18 submissions in the għarfien nazzjonali żgħażagħ fis-soċjetà 2003. in 2007 the group was awarded ġieħ għawdex by the circolo gozitano. in 2010, it was awarded ġieħ il-belt vittoria by the local council of victoria. in 2010, it was chosen as the president’s group in recognition for its efforts to raise a considerable amount of money (€4606) for the strina campaign in aid of the community chest fund.
