About this cause

We are a village scout group with Scout, Cub and Beaver sections, all of which are open to male and female participants. We are at capacity for Cub and Beaver sections, with a healthy waiting list. Members have the opportunity to learn in a way which is different yet complimentary to what they experience inside a classroom. All sections meet weekly for a variety of activities both at the hut and on excursions. All sections take part in residential trips, starting with an overnight stay in another scout hut for the Beavers, building up to week-long camping trips for the Scouts. Across Scouting the key objective is to 'actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society'.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Maintenance of the Scout minibus will enable to Scout, Cub and Beaver sections to continue to offer a rich programme for children in the village. This includes camping and other residential trips, as well as excursions and day hikes. The minibus is also available to other groups and organisations, including local scout groups, to support similar activities.
