Group History
The group opened in the 1990’s with one Cub Pack and about 15 boys. Since that time we have expanded our numbers by opening a Scout Troop and Beaver Colony. We are now offer Scouting to 100 boys and girls between the ages of 6 -14.
Each group is actively involved in both modern and traditional Scouting activates – Recent activities within the group have included, various camps, canoeing, fire lighting, wide games, conservation work, discos and badge work
As a Group we do like to go camping, with the Beavers generally having two sleepovers a year (one of which Father Christmas attends). The Cubs try to go camping twice a year, under canvas, doing a range of activities; Climbing, Archery, shooting, etc. The Scouts have a couple of main camps each year and can often be found going off for one night walking events.
