We have an amazing group of young leaders. Words can’t really thank enough for all they put back into 1st Malton. They are all a huge part of our Malton family

We’d like to say a great big thank you to all our amazing Young Leaders this Volunteers’ Week. 🙌

I get asked a lot “why do you do it” mainly because I love it but because someone did it for me.

In scouting (and many other activities) there are amazing volunteers who give up more time then you would ever imagine. They all are very different and have there own reasons for why they volunteer and give up there time for the young people in there part of the world.

No one can ever thank you enough for everything that you do. Please remember that you are amazing and we thank you for everything you do for our children

It was a great chance for everyone to make new friends, build confidence, and enjoy an action-packed evening together.

A massive thank you to Richard and Becky from Dalby Activity Centre for running such a fantastic evening.

One of the activities at Scouts last night was asking the scouts to draw a shape on in just one line, without repeating a section, or lifting the pen from the paper and then the attempt the same with a torch as a light image!

Whilst things don't always work out as you plan; some great results achieved!

Pancake night at explorers. But why make it as simple as “let’s make some pancakes”!!!

In teams of four each person takes it in turns to roll a dice 🎲. If and when they round a six that person starts over making a pancake 🥞. When the next person rolls a six they take over the making/eating a pancake.

Watching the frustration when you put your cooked pancake onto a plate when the next person rolls a six and comes to take over and eat the cooked pancake. Great fun and lots of pancakes made and eaten!!
