🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

This Saturday we’re launching our brand-new Squirrels section — and we couldn’t be more excited!

A huge thank you to our amazing Team - Team Leader Emma, supported by the fantastic Georgina and Katie, who have worked hard to make this happen.

Their energy, commitment, and enthusiasm are going to make a real difference to the young people in our community.

Squirrels is all about fun, friendship, and adventure for our youngest members, and we can’t wait to see the smiles, laughter, and memories that will be created from day one.

Good luck to the team for your first session — you’re going to be brilliant! 🐿️

To show just how essential this is, we need to prove more young people want to join....

👉 We already have about 50 kids on the waiting list. If you have a child aged 4–14 (Squirrels to Scouts) who’d love adventure, challenges, and making friends, now’s the time to register (please only add children that are 3+ years of age)!

➡️ Add them to the waiting list:
