Running a scout group is very very expensive and we rely on subs to cover all the basics.

Subs are Â£48 per term and need to be paid by half term (Friday November 2nd) â€“ please pay online if you have a debit or credit card.

All the info for subs payments etc is online

We are very lucky at The Fifth to have a bunch of teenagers who give up their time to help with the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

Before we set off to camp, we got them together and we worked through the first module of their training.

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.
