🎃 BINGO FUNDRAISER FOR ANGELA! 🎃

We’re very proud of one of our former Cullompton Scouts, Angela, who is now an Explorer and has been selected for an incredible Scouting adventure — the World Scout Jamboree! 🌍⚜️

Angela is busy fundraising to help make that adventure possible, and she’s holding a Halloween-themed Bingo Night:

📅 30th October
📍 Kentisbeare Village Hall
🚪 Doors open 6:30pm
👀 Eyes down 7:30pm

There’ll also be a raffle, tuck shop and bar, so come along for a great evening and help Angela on her way to the Jamboree.

It’s fantastic to see someone who came through Cullompton Scouts continuing her Scouting journey as an Explorer and getting the opportunity to take part in something as special as a World Scout Jamboree.

Please support Angela if you can — and give this post a share to help spread the word! 💜⚜️🌍

Once a Cully Scout, always a Cully Scout! 🏕️

🙋 Could you help Cullompton Scouts?

Every week, more than 50 young people in Cullompton get the chance to have adventures, learn new skills, make friends, build confidence and – most importantly – have fun.

And every bit of it happens because of volunteers.

Cullompton Scout Group is an independent charity, run entirely by local volunteers. We have a fantastic team, but we need more adults to join us and help keep Scouting strong for the future.

You don't need any previous Scouting experience. You don't need to know how to light a fire with two sticks, tie complicated knots or own a tent!

And you definitely don't have to give up every evening.

There are lots of ways to get involved:

⚜️ Help our leaders at weekly section meetings
🛠️ Help behind the scenes with maintenance, admin, fundraising or events
🤝 Join our Trustee Board and help guide the Group
🏕️ Share a skill, hobby or interest with our young people
🙌 Help occasionally with camps, activities, transport or practical jobs

Perhaps you've got a skill our young people would love to learn. Perhaps you'd enjoy helping with activities. Or perhaps you'd rather do something useful quietly in the background.

Whatever you can offer, there's probably a place for you.

And volunteering isn't just about what you give. It's a chance to learn new skills yourself, meet some great people, have some adventures and go home knowing you've helped give local young people opportunities and memories that can last a lifetime.

You don't have to do it all. A little time from more people makes an enormous difference.

Interested? Curious? Not quite sure but fancy finding out?

Drop me an email at [email protected] for an informal chat. There's absolutely no obligation – come and find out what we're about.

Help us make adventure happen. ⚜️

🏕️ What a Fantastic District Cub Camp! 🏕️

A huge well done to every Cub who took part this weekend. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. From trying new activities and making new friends to building confidence and resilience, you’ve all shown exactly what Scouting is about.

👏 BRAVO to all of our volunteer leaders and helpers who gave up their time to make the camp possible. Events like this don’t happen by accident. They happen because dedicated volunteers give their evenings, weekends, and holidays so that young people can develop .

🚚 A special thank you also goes to GRE Ltd. Thermal Engineering and Cryogenic cooling for helping transport our equipment to and from camp.

We’re always looking for new volunteers to join our team. Whether you can help every week, occasionally, or behind the scenes, there’s a role for everyone. More volunteers means more opportunities, more adventures, and more young people benefiting from Scouting.

❤️ HELP KEEP OUR COMMUNITY DEFIBRILLATOR EMERGENCY READY ❤️

Did you know that Cullompton Scout Group funds and maintains a public-access defibrillator outside the Scout Centre, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?

Since it was installed in 2021, the AED has been deployed on five occasions in response to medical emergencies within our community.

Like any piece of life-saving equipment, it requires ongoing maintenance. Batteries and electrode pads have limited lifespans and can be expensive to replace. We have recently incurred significant costs replacing key components to ensure the unit remains rescue-ready.

To help secure its future, we have launched the Cullompton Scout Group Community Defibrillator Fund.

Every penny raised will be ring-fenced exclusively for the public-access AED and used for maintenance, servicing, replacement batteries, pads and future equipment costs.

We hope it is never needed, but if the day comes when someone needs it, we want it to be ready.

If you are able to support the appeal, no matter how small the donation, we would be incredibly grateful.

Please consider donating and sharing this post to help us keep this vital community asset available to everyone.

Help keep Cullompton Scouts' public-access defibrillator maintained, rescue-ready and available to everyone, 24 hours a day.

A cracking end to the year 🎄

Our Christmas Party was a brilliant way to round off another fantastic term for the group. It’s been full of energy, laughter, challenges, and the kind of experiences that help young people grow in confidence and character.

None of this happens by accident. It’s down to a committed team of volunteers who turn up week in, week out, work together, and quietly set the standards that make this group what it is. The teamwork, care, and effort behind the scenes really do make a difference.

We’re now pausing for a well-earned Christmas break before coming back refreshed and ready for the new term. Thank you to everyone who supports the group and helps give our young people such a positive Scouting experience.

Merry Christmas to all 🎄

It must be getting close to Christmas… our Scout Group has set up camp at Cullompton Tesco today! ⛺🛒

We’re raising funds for our much-needed Scout Hut and helping pack bags for shoppers who are clearly braver than we are for tackling the festive food run this early. 🎄💪

If you’re passing, come say hello, let us lighten the load at the checkout, and forgive us in advance if we pack your sprouts with your mince pies. Every smile, every coin, and every slightly squashed loaf helps! 😄✨
