A huge thank you to Visit New Mills for their very generous donation to our Kandersteg Fund following this year's New Mills Carnival.

Your support will make a real difference and will help our young people take part in an unforgettable adventure to Kandersteg, Switzerland. From exploring the mountains to experiencing international Scouting and making lifelong memories, this trip will be truly special.

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and support of local young people. Thank you for helping make this amazing opportunity possible! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸ”οΈβšœοΈ

We would also like to say a huge thank you to New Mills Emporium & New Mills Youth and Community Project for their incredible generosity in purchasing a DJI Pocket 3 camera for our KISC trip.

This amazing piece of equipment will allow us to capture the adventure as it happens, from mountain hikes and international friendships to all the unforgettable moments that make Kandersteg such a special experience for our young people.

The footage collected during the trip will be professionally edited into a film of our expedition, which will be shown for one night only at a special ticketed event at New Mills Art Theatre. This will give family, friends, supporters, and the wider community the opportunity to experience our journey through the eyes of those taking part.

As a small token of our appreciation, all businesses and organisations that have supported our Kandersteg visit will receive complimentary access to the screening.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this adventure so far. Your generosity is helping to create memories and opportunities that will last a lifetime. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸ”οΈπŸŽ₯⚜️

Yesterday our Explorers swapped the hills for the underground as they ventured into the historic Alderley Edge Copper Mines! ⛏️πŸͺ¨

Led by the fantastic Derbyshire North West Scout Caving Team, our Explorers navigated winding tunnels, discovered the fascinating history of the ancient copper mines, and experienced the hidden beauty that lies beneath our feet. From learning about the miners who once worked there to exploring passages carved centuries ago, it was an unforgettable adventure.

A huge thank you to Derbyshire North awest Scout Caving Team for sharing their knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise, and for giving our Explorers such a unique experience.

Another brilliant evening of adventure, learning, and trying something new! πŸŒπŸ’š

A special evening for Sett Valley Explorers!

We recently welcomed 5 new Explorers into our unit with an investiture at the summit of Lantern Pike.

We chose this location for a reason. Back in June 2023, when Sett Valley Explorers first began, our original 7 Explorers were invested on this very summit. Returning here to welcome our newest members is a reminder of how far we've come while staying true to where our journey started.

We introduced our new Explorers Leadership Team and the latest receiver of the Helen Lewthwaite Award.

Congratulations to our new Explorers and those with leadership positions β€”we can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead! πŸŒ„πŸ₯Ύ

This week, our Sett Valley Explorers have been working towards their Community Impact Badge by helping with some gardening at Watford House Care Home 🌼🌿

The Explorers spent time planting flowers, tidying outdoor spaces, and helping brighten the gardens for residents and visitors to enjoy. It was a brilliant opportunity to give back to the local community while developing teamwork and practical skills.

A huge thank you to everyone who kindly donated flowers, plants, and gardening equipment to support this project. Special thanks to New Mills Plant Shop and Wickes Glossop for their generous support 🌸

Well done to all of our Explorers for their hard work and enthusiasm β€” you’ve made a real difference!
