About this cause

We are a small group of volunteers who lead the Machynlleth first Scouts troop, approx 18 beavers, 20 cubs and 25 scouts. Each group is lead by three to five volunteers every Wednesday evening. The group does activities to gain badges at varying degrees of difficulty. This includes camping, hiking, cooking, map reading and working together. We enable children to take part in group led activities that they may not normally get to do, we make the sessions as cost effective as possible to enable children from all families and backgrounds to attend. The aim of the association is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The structure could be used by other groups and during the build the skills learned would benefit all. It would be open for all to attend who wish to lean the art of straw bale house making. We hope that as it will be made by the children for the community to benefit from, it will be less likely to be vandalised. The campsite is used by many local groups who will all have the chance to join in.
