“If the Duchess can find the time…”

Here’s a quick video and we agree with every word of it!

I sat next to the Duchess at Training…

Ok, not as catchy as the famous limerick that begins in a similar fashion but not even Duchesses get away without doing their training

Everybody in scouting who helps out more than once a month has to do some introductory training and the leaders do even more than that. Every section is led by at least one adult who is either in the middle of, or has finished, a 19 module training scheme that covers everything from the Data Protection Act to camping skills. Don’t worry, it’s all offered in bite-size chunks over a period of a few years.

Don’t let a lack of experience put you off volunteering, you name it and scouting can train you in it.

Staff Drill at Thunder Troop

A really fun blast from the past for Thunder Troop – Scout staff drill – here was what the PLs worked from:

Growing the Group in 2013

 

Our Census figures are in and our numbers are looking good.

The census is a snapshot of our membership on the 31st January and although we were slightly down on last year, we’re going to grow again slightly soon.

One thing is obvious, the growth of the group is dependent on the support of our volunteers.

The more adults that we recruit as volunteers, the more young people can enjoy everyday adventure at The Fifth. Tina has joined the beaver team (massive welcome) and that will allow us to take a few more into that section but our big plan has to be to open another beaver colony.

We have 84 beaver-age girls and boys on the waiting list.

They’re unlikely to get a place

That’s enough for at least 3 new colonies locally. 

Keep an eye out for our recruitment drive or step forward now to help us open a second colony.

We’re also looking for volunteers (regular or occasional) for the scouts and explorers. Both sections are flourishing but more help means more fun and adventure. Please email [email protected] to find out what’s involved.
