Do You Want To Help?

  • Offering a skill or hobby to train or test the Beaver/Cub Scouts for awards and badges
  • Helping prepare refreshments for a Colony, Group or Pack ,troop events
  • Helping transport Beaver/Cub/Scouts to events and outings or move kit to camp

By playing your part and supporting your child you will share the enjoyment, friendship and fun of the family of Scouting.

The Group Executive Committee

Each year, the Scout Group elects an Executive Committee consisting of a number of parents and various Leaders in the Group to carry out the day-to-day tasks of running the Scout Group. They are responsible for purchasing equipment and maintaining Group property. The function of the Group Executive Committee is also to support and help the Scout Group Leaders carry out his or her role in maintaining an effective and successful Scout Group.
