‼️ ATTENTION SCOUTING PARENTS: Your car park isolation is officially over! ‼️

We know the drill: Drop the kids, peel out of the driveway, and crash on the sofa to catch up on laundry, bills, or whatever chore you're avoiding. Sound familiar? 😴

We have a better offer: Actual adult conversation, decent coffee, and the excuse to avoid your housework for a couple of hours a week!

You've successfully secured an activity night for your child - now secure one for yourself! Stop being the unpaid taxi service and join the responsible adults who are actually having fun inside the hall.

Escape the chores, join the team, and make some new friends who understand the chaos of Scouting pick-ups. Speak to your child’s leader to find out more or head to www.chelmsfordscouts.org.uk/volunteer.

⚜️A great autumn term, ready for 2026! ⭐

Last term, we launched our very own Squirrel Drey - allowing us to bring to those aged 4 to 14 at 1st Chelmsford. 🐿️

We had a great weekend at Guidewoods, Hockley for our Group Camp - where all 4 sections took part in various activities, before sharing a campfire together as one. ⛺🔥

Each section took part in a varied programme:
⚜️ Our Squirrels (and our leaders, Mouse and Snake) were invested all as one at the One World Garden in Hylands
⚜️ Our Beavers got a chance to go on a hike of their own!
⚜️ Our Cubs learnt all about disability awareness!
⚜️ Our Scouts took part in a Cooks' Walk - walking around Chelmsford to find ingredients, then whipping up an awesome Carbonara or Bolognese.

All of us at 1st are looking forward to another amazing term! If you fancy getting involved and joining us, then please fill in the interest form on the Chelmsford Scouts website: https://www.chelmsfordscouts.org.uk/groups/1stchelmsford

⚜️ An explosive start to Fundraising! ⭐️🎇

At 1st Chelmsford, we are lucky enough to have TWO young people attending the next World Scout Jamboree, being held in Gdańsk in Poland. 🇵🇱
This is an incredible opportunity for Alexander and Molly to grow as people, develop new friendships, and return more confident and ready for whatever awaits them next. 😁
As they meet up with 40,000 other Scouts from all over the globe in August 2027, they will create memories to last a lifetime, shaping them as people forever. ♾️
But to get to that point, they need to raise £8,000 between them - as their fees help subsidise countries who would not get to attend otherwise. 🌍

Having already run a Firework Fiesta 🎇🎉, in the New Year we will be starting our fundraising event calendar! 📅⭐️
Quiz Nights❓, Table-Tops 🛍️, and more! ⭐️
