👋 Could you be the person we're looking for?

Bradford South Scouts is looking for one new member to join our District Trustee Board.

You don't need to have previous trustee experience; we're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable, and keen to support Scouting. If you have experience in governance, finance, administration, or simply want to use your skills to give something back, we'd love to hear from you.

If you'd like to find out more or have an informal chat about what's involved, please email [email protected].

Your support could make a real difference to the future of Scouting in Bradford South. 💚

🔥 IMPORTANT NOTICE – TEMPORARY FIRE BAN 🔥

At Blackhills Campsite, the safety of our visitors, volunteers and surrounding woodland is our top priority.

Due to the recent spell of hot, dry weather, we have made the decision to introduce a temporary ban on all fires across the entire campsite with immediate effect.

This means no campfires or fires in drums until further notice. We appreciate that campfires are a big part of the camping experience, but the current conditions significantly increase the risk of fire spreading, and we cannot take that chance.

We know this may be disappointing, but we’re sure you’ll understand that this decision has been made to protect our campsite, our wildlife, our visitors and the beautiful environment we all enjoy.

We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will let everyone know as soon as it is safe to lift the ban.

Thank you for your understanding, support and cooperation in helping us keep Blackhills Campsite safe for everyone. 💚🌲
