Youth lead at work tonight at cubs. One of the cubs has brought up a new game from a different country for us to play as part of his world challenge badge.

A fantastic day at the Vitality Westminster Mile yesterday! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉
Brilliant to be there with our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, team members, Group Chair, Young Leaders, friends and family joining other groups from far and wide. So many smiles, lots of energy and a great atmosphere!
Another great event and fantastic fun for everyone. 💙⚜️

Last night, three of our former members were awarded their Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

We’ve had the privilege of watching them progress through Beavers, Cubs and Scouts before continuing their journey into Explorers.

Even better, two of them are now giving back to Scouting as Young Leaders with our Scouts. 💚⚜️

It’s fantastic to see how far they’ve come and all that they have achieved.

A huge congratulations to all three. We’re incredibly proud of you! 🎉👏

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! 🙌

Scouts broke up for the summer last night with a games night. Pool, table tennis, board games and arts and crafts. A fun relaxed last troop night!

Scouts have spent the last few weeks working on international aspects of different badges all linked to the World Cup.
A fun sweepstake was drawn, each Scout picking a different team to follow and cheer for the competition. Then, for their country, they drew their flags, learnt 3 phrases in their language, and something about something from their country. All this is then turned into our own world cup bunting hung around the HQ.
A great few weeks, really engaging and informative....just a shame about the actual World Cup!!

This time last week at Camberwell Arts Festival we were serving free cake! Cakes donated by Lumberjack Coffee like previous years and went down a treat!

During Scouts on Monday this week, we were visited by four Young Researchers from Groundwork London. Each Scout took a few moments to complete a survey about the local area, interests and hobbies and how they feel improvements could be made.
We love being youth led inside and outside of Scouts!
