👻 It’s spooky season 🎃

The scouts did Pumpkin Carving this week!
Each of the scouts had their own pumpkin to carve, and put their knife skills to the test! We think they have done fantastically well! 🎃🦇

We also discussed the plans for this year’s much-anticipated Christmas Camp!

Cheshire Hike 2026 👣

A huge congratulations to everybody who took park in the Cheshire Hike over the weekend.
As always, it’s a weekend of highs and lows. Whether you made it to the finish, or you had to stop before the end, you have all done amazingly well. It was lovely to see so many past and present 4th Frodsham scouts passing through the course over the weekend.

A big thank you to all of the Cheshire Scouts and girl guides volunteers who made this weekend possible.

We had leaders from 4th Frodsham helping on two checkpoints on Saturday, helping to keep the hikers on the right path, refilling water, and providing a rest stop before they carried on to the basecamp.

We also had two leaders manning two of the first aid cars for the entirety of the weekend, ensuring that everybody remained safe, fit, and healthy on their travels.

Congratulations to Mersey Weaver Scouts for taking home a number of trophies…including one of our ex-scouts, whose team won the Explorer category.

It’s day two of Cheshire Hike!

Good luck to everybody who is hiking this weekend…especially all of our hikers from 4th Frodsham and the wider Mersey Weaver Scouts

While we wait for enough daylight to snap our teams emerging from their tents (and for our media team to emerge from theirs… 👀💤), here are some happy faces from yesterday! 😄🥾

Boots on, bags packed - let’s go, day two! 💪

This week, the cubs learned about the history of Frodsham 🐝

We spoke about the history of the symbolism behind the Frodsham Bee, famous people from Frodsham (and Justin Beiber’s visit in 2016), as well as our favourite things about living in Frodsham.

We then made posters to advertise Frodsham to potential visitors before presenting them to the group!

What’s your favourite thing about Frodsham?

Scouts Chamboree - Part Deux

Friday saw the final day of activities, which included bell ringing, African drumming, and pizza making. As well as sports activities such as wheelchair rugby and drone racing.

The Chamboree 2026 Closing ceremony was a fantastic display of talent, as well as a chance to thank the team for the most spectacular week in the scouting calendar. The live band were fantastic, and they paused their set so the scouts, leaders, and IST could witness a spectacular, chambo-themed drone show.

Two scouts were invested into the group on Saturday before we paraded down to the main arena for the closing ceremony with the rest of the participants.

Saturday brought a lie-in for the scouts and leaders before striking camp. Luckily, the weather was on our side, and the tents were put away dry.

Now it’s time for the soppy part…

Thank you to all of the scouts, cubs, and beavers from 4th Frodsham, 3rd Frodsham Sea Scouts, and 1st Weston & Weston Point Scout Group, as well as our special guest from 1st Moore. Your willingness to get involved in the activities, cleaning, and cooking has made leading this camp an absolute blast. We hope you have all enjoyed this week half as much as we have. We hope to see you next time, either as a Scouts, Explorers, or Leaders. You behaviour was perfect throughout the camp, and you should be proud of yourselves for representing your groups in such a way…CHAM-GO

Thank you to all of the leaders across all of the sections, and our parent helpers. You put in the graft, and it was reflected in the experience we have provided to the young people.

Thank you to all of the parents who helped to set up and pack down camp, and put the equipment away at HQ. Without your help, the volunteers would still be at HQ throughout the week trying to sort out the kit. Your ongoing support for the group never goes unnoticed.

And finally, thank you to the Management Teams, IST, Permit Holders, and more at Cheshire Scouts who have put in years of effort to make Chamboree happen, providing the magic to 6000+ scouts from across the globe.

See you in 4 years for Chamboree 2030!!

Scouts Chamboree - Part 1

The scouts arrived to the Chamboree 2026 site on Saturday afternoon, and got stuck straight into activities!

They have taken part in so many fun and unique activities, including having a go on different vehicles such as hovercrafts, quad bikes, and segways; as well as target sports, crafts, and visiting the circus.

The scouts have shown incredible amounts of resilience and bravery, conquering fears and taking on new challenges.

The Beavers also visited site for an overnight visit, and got to enjoy a taste of the Chamboree magic.

We were also able to experience the partial solar eclipse alongside 6,000 other scouts on-site.

On Thursday, we left site and headed to Chester zoo in 34 Celsius heat. The scouts were so well behaved in their groups, and made sure to look after each other throughout the day.

Whilst we didn’t get the chance to meet him, it was great to see Dwayne Fields visiting site yesterday.

Cubs Mini Chamboree

The cubs had a fantastic weekend at the Chamboree 2026 site, visiting activities including climbing, inflatables, the circus, and more.

The Cubs were very well behaved in and around the campsite, and were able to socialise and learn about other cultures from the international Cubs visiting Cheshire for this incredible event.

Thank you to team Cheshire Scouts for putting on the event for the Cubs, and we hope the Scouts enjoy the week to come.

Heat wave = water fight. (June)
The first heat wave of the year and the Scout took advantage of it with the classic water fight with a slip and slide.

Thank you to everyone who supported us and 3rd Frodsham Sea Scouts at Tarporley carnival. We ran the climbing wall and a sweet tombola.
We took £453.37 towards our Chamboree 2026 funds!
Well done Scouts and leaders, a huge effort and good team work. A pat on the back to Andy H who stepped in to cover illness too.

Last week the Scouts hiked up Frodsham Hill for the Summer Solstice. The photos speak for themselves
