Had some phenomenal work completed at the 96th Birmingham Scout Hut today by an AXA Birmingham Corporate Volunteer Day team. They have done some much needed and brilliant landscaping in our car park and garden as well as a complete renovation of our storage cupboards with brand new shelving being built and all of our equipment having a proper sort out.

Phenomenal work done and thank you very much for giving up some of your volunteering day allowance to support 96th Birmingham and Cole Valley South Scouts.

The site is starting to take shape ahead of this weekend’s DofE Training and Gold Expedition. There’s still plenty to do, but it’s always great to see everything coming together!

Wishing all of our participants the best of luck as they prepare to take on the challenge — we can’t wait to see what you achieve 💪🌍

Stay tuned for more updates over the weekend! 👀

🎃 Halloween in the Village – What a Weekend! 👻

Our Explorers had an epic time away at the Podded Village at Blackwell Adventure for our spooky Halloween in the Village camp! From creative crafts to adrenaline-filled adventures, we packed in as much fun as possible. 💥

🧟‍♀️ Halloween Highlights:

Masterpiece pumpkin carving 🎃

Costume creation that scared (and impressed!) us all 🧵✨

A devilishly tricky Halloween quiz 🧠👀

🏕️ Blackwell Adventures:

Pioneering teamwork at its finest! 🪵

Reaching new heights with Crate Stack 📦⬆️

The iconic 3G Swing… daredevils everywhere! 😱🎢

Laser Tag battles under the autumn skies 🔫🌙

Huge well done to everyone who took part — amazing spirits (the Halloween kind and the Scouting kind 😉). A massive thanks to our leaders for making it all possible. Already excited for the next adventure! 🌟
