Camping and sleepovers

We meet every Friday during term time from 6:30pm till 8:30pm at our scout hut at the Brownsea Centre, Cobden Street, Kirkby In Ashfield.

Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative. It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips.

Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community based work to planning games and activities for their meetings.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities. Participation rather than meeting set standards is the key approach, and there are a number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Further information about badges and awards for the Cub section can be found here

Investiture

After completing the first three weeks, we will invest the young person as a scout and they will join our scout group. For the investiture they will require a scout shirt and our groups necker. There is a short ceremony at the end of a scout night, where the young person will make their scout promise.
