As part of the campaign, our Cubs have been exploring how caring for our planet is also an act of hope for the future 🌍✨

Working towards their Environmental Conservation Badge, they discussed ways to reduce energy and water usage at home, learned about renewable energy, and thought about how small everyday actions can protect our environment for generations to come.

The Cubs made their own windmills and even used solar power to make s’mores — proving that learning about sustainability can be both meaningful and fun ☀️🍫

These conversations matter. When young people understand the importance of protecting the world around them, they grow into thoughtful, responsible and hopeful leaders for the future.

Every small action counts. Every conversation plants a seed of change. 🌱

This week our Beavers explored the beauty of nature and the importance of looking after our environment 🌿🍎🐦

We spoke about trees, leaves and wildlife, and learned about the different birds we see around us and why caring for nature matters. The young people then created biodegradable bird feeders using apples and sunflower seeds to take home and hang in their gardens.

Small activities like these help children understand that even simple actions can support local wildlife and protect our environment for the future.

As leaders, it’s important to us that our young people grow not only in confidence and skills, but also in kindness and responsibility towards the world around them 🌎💚

Our young adventurers discovered a whole world of minibeasts and their habitats, learning how even the tiniest creatures play a big role in nature. 🐛🕷️🐝

✨Leader Spotlight✨

SYED ‘Falcon’ MIAH

A huge congratulations to our Group Lead Volunteer, founder, and driving force behind the 71st Doncaster Scout Group, Syed Miah on achieving his 15 Years of Service Award and the prestigious Award of Merit in recognition of his outstanding service to the community.

Syed’s journey in Scouting is one built on vision, compassion, and sheer determination. From founding the 71st Doncaster with the dream of making Scouting accessible to ethnic minority communities, he has created a thriving, inclusive group thats become the cornerstone of community spirit. ❤️

His leadership has inspired both adults and young people to find confidence, purpose, and belonging. Syed’s belief in transparency and honesty has been central to his leadership, creating an environment built on trust and respect. Under his guidance, volunteers feel empowered, ideas are nurtured, and our young people are encouraged to explore, achieve, and lead with confidence.

His dedication has been recognised time and time again:
🏅 2017 – Good Service Award for promoting inclusion through Scouting.
🎙️ 2022 – BBC Radio Sheffield Make a Difference Award finalist for his impact in Doncaster.
🌰 2024 – Commendation Award for supporting the launch of the Squirrel Programme.

A father of four and full-time Community Manager for Macmillan, Syed still brings the energy, humour, and heart to every meeting, camp and event. His enthusiasm is contagious, his guidance invaluable, and his commitment unwavering.

Through his vision, the 71st Doncaster Scout Group has become more than a Scout group…it’s a symbol of unity, resilience, and shared purpose. His work has bridged generations, communities, and cultures, proving that when people come together with integrity, openness, and passion, incredible things happen.

We are beyond proud to celebrate his well-earned achievements and deeply grateful for his continued leadership and friendship. Here’s to many more years of adventure, impact, and inspiration with our very own Falcon leading the way! 🦅💚
