8th Darlington (Cockerton Green) Scouts

This week the beavers have been creative making a firework picture to put up in the small hall.

The Cubs were visited by the Stockton and Darlington 26 Miles Railway Heritage Project last week for some Halloween fun!

They played scary Duck, Duck, Goose and Halloween corners, read The Ghost Train and created their own spooky trains.

Thank you to Cait and Claire from S&DR26miles for coming and helping the Cubs work towards their book readers badge!

A huge thank you to everyone who chose 8th Darlington Scouts as their local cause when shopping at the Co-op this past year. Together you’ve raised just shy of £2,000 for our group!

This money will go towards looking after our building, running our programme, getting out on our five camps a year and keeping our kit in good shape. In short, it helps us keep the adventures coming!

Whether you’re a parent, a leader, a former Scout or a neighbour who simply picked us at the till, thank you. We couldn’t do it without you! ⚜️
