NAME OF SERVICE: Uniformed Groups-Beavers, Cubs and Scouts

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE:

1st Daybrook and Woodthorpe Scout Group is a youth activity for young people (boys and girls) aged 6 - 14. Focussing on developing young people's extra-curricular skills through working towards 'activity badges', Scouting has been in existence since 1907. Our primary focus is on helping the young people learn confidence, independence, social skills and Skills for Life through games based around teamwork and adaptability, outdoor activities such as camping, and developmental challenges.

We have three different age groups: Beavers aged 6 - 8; Cubs aged 8 - 10½; and Scouts aged 10½ - 14. There is then an option to continue with Explorer Scouts 14 - 18 at a nearby district level unit.

WHERE/WHEN?

Beavers - Monday 5.30 - 6.30pm in the small hall in the parish centre
Cubs - Monday 5.30 - 7.00pm in the big hall in the parish centre
Scouts - Monday 6.45 - 8.30pm in the small hall in the parish centre

HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED?

We encourage young people to join us from Beavers, at aged 6, but we welcome joiners at any age into any section. We are a popular, active group and have a waiting list, so we encourage parents to register their children with us early!

HOW CAN I GET HELP FROM THE SERVICE?

The Scout movement provides enrichment activities for young people which will be conveyed through termly programmes and regular e-mail updates.
