Scouting for Girls are an English indie rock band.
Their name is a play on the title of the 1908 Scouting handbook Scouting for Boys. The band consists of childhood friends from London, Roy Stride on piano and lead guitar/vocals, Greg Churchouse on bass guitar and Peter Ellard on percussion.
Having formed in 2005, the band signed to Epic Records two years later - in 2007. Scouting for Girls released their self-titled debut album that September and it reached number one on the UK Albums Chart in 2008. To date, it has sold over 1,000,000 copies in the UK.
