Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
We are a thriving Scout Group with a Beaver Scout Colony for boys and girls aged 6 to 8, a Cub Scout Pack for boys and girls aged 8 to 10.5, and a Scout Troop for boys and girls aged 10.5 to 14. The three sections are supported by a team of adult leaders and some Young Leaders (Explorer Scouts aged 14 to 18).
Beavers meet Tuesday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.00pm (term time only)
Cubs meet each Wednesday from 6.30pm to 8.00pm
Scouts meet each Thursday from 7.30pm to 9.00pm
Beavers do a variety of activities including painting art, games, making friends, badgework, cooking and other fun things.
Cubs do loads of activities throughout the year including games, cooking, badgework, rifle shooting, archery, art, making things, two camps per year (long weekend at Easter and a week in the summer). They also do several outdoor activities over local fields inculuding sports days and football, rounders etc. Throughout the year the Cubs also enter several district competitions, including draughts and football.
