Our leaders and young leaders had a productive morning yesterday, clearing a garden border for a member of our local community. Thank you to our young leader, Ethan, for organising this event.

For those in the know, the hedgehog was undisturbed and has since been spotted out and about 🦔

It's our birthday, Scouts! 🎉 🥳 ✨

119 years since the very first experimental Scout camp pitched up on Brownsea Island, Dorset.

We’re so proud of everything our volunteers have done since then to give young people a place to belong. Thank you to you all! 🙌

1st Butterknowle Sea Scouts are looking for organisers, decision-makers, and safety checkers. If you've got a bit of time to spare, want to build your CV, or help give young people , why not become a trustee?

Well done to all the Scouts from Butterknowle, Staindrop and Middleton who completed their two day expedition this weekend from Mickleton back to Butterknowle.
That’s why there were so many very tired young people trekking through Copley, Lynesack and Butterknowle this afternoon; they were just getting to the end of their 25k trek!
