1st Brixton Scouts based on the Blenheim Gardens Estate are already doing that and more. After successfully opening Beavers (6–8-year-olds) and Cubs (8–10-year-olds) they are now opening a Scout Troop (boys and girls aged 10–14-year-olds) to enable more young people to take part in activities and adventures, encouraged to ask the bigger questions, think on their feet, be part of a team and always have a plan B up their sleeves.
Scouts offers over two hundred activities from abseiling and coding to drama and water-zorbing.
The new Scout Troop is opening on Thursday 7th November at St Paul’s with St Saviour’s Community Centre, and there are already young people registered to join in the fun.
Are you an adult who would like to learn or share your skills, we would love for you to get involved and join the adventure. We are an open and friendly bunch. To be a volunteer in Scouts you don’t need incredible outdoor skills or know how to use a map or compass. We can teach you all that. What’s really needed is a smile, patience, and willingness to get stuck in and share some time to help others. Volunteering’s not just about giving back, it goes both ways. It’s fun, gives you skills for the future, and helps you make new friends in your community. To find out more or if you can share your skills, please contact Matt at contact.us@scoutlondonscouts.org.uk
