🚀🌟 Our Squirrels blasted off on their Space Explorer badge adventure yesterday!
They learned all about the planets in our solar system before putting their creativity to work and designing their very own planets. 🌍🪐✨
There were some amazing ideas, lots of imagination, and plenty of future astronauts in the making! We can't wait to continue exploring space together.

🎃 Squirrel Halloween Fun! 🐿️
Last week our Squirrels got into the Halloween spirit early with some pumpkin carving! 🎃✨
The Squirrels showed off their carving skills. There was plenty of happy faces, and a little bit of mess as everyone decorated their pumpkins to take home and display in the run-up to Halloween. 🏠🍂
Great work, Squirrels, your pumpkins looked fantastic! 👏🎃

Happy Birthday to us! 🥳🎉⚜️

It's our birthday, Scouts! 🎉 🥳 ✨

119 years since the very first experimental Scout camp pitched up on Brownsea Island, Dorset.

We’re so proud of everything our volunteers have done since then to give young people a place to belong. Thank you to you all! 🙌

This past week at Squirrels, we were celebrating World Bee Day! We created our very own Bee pompoms out of wool, learned some amazing bee facts and tasted some honey!

It was bee-yond amazing 🐝

A couple of weeks ago, our Squirrels ventured out on their first visit. We went to The Milk Well to learn all about how our food is grown. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of the farm, meeting the chickens and cows and learning how they grow food to feed them. This was all before trying some of their delicious milk shakes 🥛🐄🐔😋

Thank you to the Milk Well for having us! The Squirrels loved it!

Last term we took the big step in launching a Squirrel section at our group. We are proud to share with you that our first group of Squirrels have now been invested.
Welcome to the worldwide family of scouts!

🐿️ Our brand new Squirrel Drey launches in just ONE week!

We’re thrilled to be opening our doors to the youngest members of the Scouting family, giving 4–6 year olds the chance to explore, play, learn new skills, and start their Scouting adventure from the very beginning.
Our leaders have been busy planning fun activities, games, and plenty of exciting adventures.

It’s not just about Squirrels. We also have spaces in our other sections!

From ages 4-17, we offer something for everyone. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow in confidence, make real friends, learn new skills, and have unforgettable experiences,

Whether it’s trying something new for the first time, discovering hidden talents, or simply having a space to be themselves, Scouting helps young people thrive. Week by week, they build resilience, teamwork, independence, and a love for adventure that stays with them for life.
