It’s that time again…
Running a scout group is very very expensive and we rely on subs to cover all the basics.
Subs are £48 per term and need to be paid by half term (Friday November 2nd) – please pay online if you have a debit or credit card.
All the info for subs payments etc is online
Check out  the video above to see how we have been spending your money,
Saturday 22nd Septmber 12-4pm @ the scout hut and grounds
Tickets: £5 adults, £3 kids includes food
please email [email protected] for tickets, info etc or buy your tickets below
There’ll be a BBQ, pimms tent, archery, face painting, bouncy castle, crockery smashing and more
please get in touch with keeley if you can offer a raffle prize [email protected] or have some inspiration for how to make the day even better.
Do you work for a company that offers profit matching? (Many banks do this) Would you help us to double out money please?
Please invite family and friends to make this day a success.
We’ve not been able to do bag packing for the 5th this year and that normally brings in over £1,000 so this is very important for us. We don’t get money from the borough, from the government or anywhere else… we have to raise every penny that we spend and we either spend that money on boring stuff like utilities and insurance or cool stuff like go karts, archery kit etc! Nothing is wasted.
Let’s keep the last post of the year simple.
Thank you to everybody who ran everyday adventure for our young people.
The leaders who turn out each week, who plan and who train to earn qualifications.
The people in the background who build, paint, drill, saw and help us grow.
The paperworkers who let the leaders do the fun stuff while the subs are collected, gift aid completed, accounts audited, finances recorded, waiting lists managed etc.
Thanks to the parents who trust us with their kids and who budget and save to send their kids away with us.
Finally a thank you to our beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers who make The Fifth one of the best groups in the district.
The Fifth has doubled in size in 10 years and, to match the growth, we have had to buy an awful lot of kit. We welcomed girls in 2007 and that meant we needed more new tents, toilets and changing areas. We are careful with your money and we shop around for months to find the best deals for The Fifth. How about some examples?
How about some facts and figures? Camping is the best thing that we do in scouts and we recognise that with badges for the young people as they move through the sections.
That’s nearly 7 years away.
Between the cubs scouts and explorers:
and a sleepover is planned in July so that will round up the rest of them

And every single one of these has been run by our 100% volunteer team of leaders
