Ballymoney Scout Group is a member of Londonderry District We're working to make Scouting available to all and we're passionate about what we do.

Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people aged 6-25 in the UK. We believe in helping our Members fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they’ll never forget. The sort of adventure Scouting offers is the chance to experience something different and the opportunity to challenge yourself. When a Beaver Scout wakes up the morning after a sleepover, or Cub Scout has just got over her fear of heights by completing her first abseil - that’s adventure. In Scouting, we provide over 200 activities from abseiling to zorbing (that’s falling out of the sky in a foam ball in case you were wondering). If we don’t have an instructor who can help we can normally find someone who can. But Scouting isn’t just about activities for their own sake. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means. Did they have fun? Do they feel more confident? Would they do it again? All this is made possible by the efforts of 100,000 voluntary adult leaders. With award winning training and one-to-one support, we make sure that each one of our volunteers gets to make best use of their skills and talents. It’s something different from the norm, and that why a lot of people like it. In fact, it’s what’s made us the largest co-educational youth Movement in the UK.

Unfortunately our original Halloween camp plans near Benone had to be changed due to Storm Boloe. With strong winds, rain and potential amber weather warning looming, we decided to go with our camp contingency, an indoor sleepover at our own hall.

A wee bit disappointing but still lots of fun to be had. First off, white board at the ready as scouts planned their evening meal, breakfast, lunch and snacks for camp. Then we all hopped on the minibus to go shopping in Tesco and Lidl.

Creative activities over the weekend were halloween duck woggle making, pumpkin carving, decorating Halloween canvas bags and halloween jug lanterns. This earned them their craft activity badge.

We also had dangling donuts, glow stick skeleton dancing, building sleeping shelters, movie night and team games: eye ball and spoon race and a messy relay race finding mini frogs in beans. We did manage to get out for a penny hike on Sunday morning for some fresh air. Then back to the hall for lunch and slime making

Our Phoenix returned this year a few weeks ago. Some team work and getting to know those new to the section.

We have listened to their ideas and are planning a program around this. They’ve had a look at the new Explorer badges too. First on their list of suggested activities was a scavenger hunt (A-Z around town ✅) and dessert challenge ✅

Lots more of their input to look at for future meetings. In the meantime, we had a tent repair workshop. Checking tents – zips, pegs, poles – and making repairs. Well done guys!!

We have invested 6 new Phoenix with a further 3 to do when they next attend

Beavers returned earlier this month. We’ve been getting to know each other, playing games, doing lots of team work, learning about beaver scouts, learning skills to make mini s’mores, looking at badges, bouldering on our wall and completing a colouring competition.

Phew!! Busy beavers indeed. At the end of this weeks meeting we invested 11 new beavers to our section. We still have 3 spaces if anyone else would like to join the adventure 🦫 ⚜️

Scouts have been back a few weeks now, focusing on getting to know everyone and completing team challenges and games. This week we assigned patrols and took part in some more team games and team building. Not many pics. Finished off with s’mores over mini campfires 🔥

Scouts returned for our new scouting year on Friday. We had a cumulative name memory game to help us learn each other names. We played some team games… dodge ball, rock, paper, scissors hop and mountains & valleys. A team challenge mapping the minefield which required team work and communication. Lots of laughs throughout the evening so hopefully that has put our new scouts at ease
