This Saturday: Your Scouting District on the airwaves!

🎙️ Avon Scouts on Air – Tune In This Saturday!

This Saturday, our Lead Volunteer Clive Sandrey will be live on Thornbury Radio Thornbury, chatting with David Wrench about all things Scouts, from the life-changing impact on young people to the incredible role our adult volunteers play across Avon (and especially in Thornbury!).

We’re not entirely sure what he’ll be asked… but one thing’s certain, it’ll be a brilliant chance to hear why volunteering with Scouts really matters.

📻 Tune in between 12:00–14:00 on Saturday 18th April and show your support!
Whether you're already part of Scouts or just curious, it’s well worth a listen.

Today we’re celebrating all the incredible mother‑figures who support, guide and cheer on young people every day.

To the mums, grandmas, aunts, sisters, mentors, step‑mums, foster mums and anyone who’s ever offered care and encouragement — thank you. Your strength and kindness make such a difference. 💜🌸

UK Scouts belong to a worldwide movement committed to peace. We’re horrified by what we’re seeing in the Middle East and especially concerned by the impact the war is having on young people.
