Joining the Group
If after 2 weeks of coming to Scouts your son or daughter wishes to stay, they will need a Scout shirt, these can be purchased from school uniform shops.
We also have a Group Activity Shirt these are available off Myself and are £10
When they have learned the Scout law and promise they can then get invested into the Group.
This will involve getting a neckerchief and badges and a woggle. these will cost £10 or if your son or daughter is coming up from Cubs the price will be £7.50 as they will already have a neckerchief.
During the year we do fundraising events like bag packing at supermarkets and a plant sale, we also have a bonfire night in November.
If any parent has any idea for fund raising please let us know, we also need help from parents with transport to and from camps and on the group parents committee.
