About this cause

1st Laxey Scout Group support young children from Beaver Scouts, 6 years old through Cub Scouts to Scouts, up to 14 years old. Scouting is all about young people enjoying themselves, being provided with a balanced programme and support, allowing the young people to make a positive contribution to society. It is a key policy to ensure that all young people have the opportunity to spend at least one night away from home on a camp. This policy is not always possible due to the lack, and state of equipment. We currently have two, fifteen year old patrol tents in need of replacement. This limits us to a total of twenty on camp as each tent holds a max of ten. We would like to both replace the existing tents and purchase an additional one with other equipment to allow more group participation.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It will allow our local children to experience camping and nights away from home which is an essential part of their development. With a life expectancy at least 10 years per tent, this would allow us to benefit the community for years to come and let hundreds of children share the experience. Scouting has been taking children camping for the last 100 years and is more important now than ever.
