The 17th Tonbridge Scout & Guide Band are the best Youth Bugle and Fife Band in the United Kingdom. All of its members are drawn from the Tonbridge area in Kent and their ages range from 9 to 18.

The band has played at many prestigious venues, events and tattoos in the United Kingdom and abroad including The Royal Albert Hall, Windsor Castle, Disneyland Paris, The Menin Gate in Belgium and Limerick, Ireland.

Both locally and internationally they have also won many trophies in competition, which in turn helps to consistently raise the standard and quality of the band.

As a self funded organisation, the band is an activity where young people can learn new skills in music and drill, in a challenging but fun environment. It gives young people the opportunity to build their social skills, which they can use in further stages of their life.
