To all our team members, parents and young members, a HUGE Thank You for all of your help over the summer break. The Big Help Out Summer Edition has meant our hut, grounds and kit have been refreshed, renewed or retired. The hours given to do this, the care and love; and the willingness to make our special little space beautiful for the up coming term, is just simply outstanding. Thank you all

This is now hanging proudly in our freshly spruced up hut.

**Volunteer Opportunity: Group Trustee Lead – Help Shape the Future of Our Scouts!**

Do you enjoy making things run smoothly behind the scenes? Want to play a key role in helping young people gain skills for life—without having to camp in the rain (unless you want to!)?

We’re on the lookout for a **Group Trustee Lead Volunteer** to join our Scout Group and bring energy, ideas, and a bit of organisational magic to our team.

This is a brilliant opportunity to:

* Be part of something meaningful in your local community
* Help guide the direction and sustainability of the group
* Work alongside a friendly, supportive team of volunteers
* Use (or build!) skills in leadership, governance, and planning

**What does the role involve?**
You’ll lead our Trustee Board, helping ensure the group is well-run, financially sound, and set up for the future. That might include coordinating meetings, supporting big decisions, and making sure we’re meeting our responsibilities—but don’t worry, you won’t be doing it alone.

**Who are we looking for?**
Someone who is:

* Organised and a good communicator
* Happy to bring ideas and ask questions
* Supportive and team-focused
* Passionate about giving young people great opportunities

No previous Scouting experience is needed—just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. Full support and training will be provided.

**Why volunteer with us?**
Because you’ll be making a real difference. Every decision you help shape supports adventures, friendships, and life-changing experiences for young people.

Interested or want to find out more? We’d love to hear from you—come and have a chat and see what it’s all about!

Join us and help build something amazing.

Never a quiet moment in my life! This week's challenge is the TCS London Marathon My Way tomorrow.

So if you've not already sponsored me for my abseil, the link is still open and any extra support you can give towards this fantastic project, I'd be extremely grateful.

Help me reach my target, to help give more young people the amazing opportunities to learn to sail!
