Two events that are being run by our leaders who are also attending Central Notts Scouts Paris trip, in October.
These events will help support the funding further young people on the trip, some of whom are part of Porchester Scout Group and our feeder Explorer Unit, Phoenix.

Please help where you can, if you can't attend how about donating a prize. As they say every little helps.

Get in touch for tickets.

🏕️ Why volunteer with Scouts?

Not for the pay (£0 😅)
Not for the glamour (mud & campfire smoke 🔥)
And definitely not for the quiet (20 Beavers = chaos 😆)

We do it for that grin when a young person surprises themselves 🏔️
For the friendships 💕, the laughter 😂, the campfire songs 🎶
For helping them find confidence and their voice 🌈

You can’t buy that.
(But you can put a badge on it 😉🏅)

Join the adventure.
Be the reason they believe they can do anything!

Did someone say for pudding at the Cubs Sleepover?

(All young people were served first, before the big kids had their turn)
