Our Scouts had an amazing trip to the RAF Museum London on Saturday as they worked towards completing their Stage 2 Air Activities Badge!

The visit gave everyone the chance to explore the history of aviation up close, learn more about aircraft and flight, and take part in activities linked to the badge requirements.

Even better, the day has inspired several Scouts to keep going and start working towards Stages 3–5 of their Air Activities Badge journey — fantastic to see their enthusiasm take off!

Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to the leaders and volunteers who helped make the visit such a success.

Scouts took on the New Forest today - map reading, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.

There’s something about getting outdoors, climbing over logs, collecting sticks and embracing the mud that brings out the best in everyone.

No screens, no distractions—just fresh air, teamwork, and a whole lot of adventure.

Last night the Beavers had a great time visiting DWFireRescue Poole Fire Station! They got a tour of the station, a look at the vehicles and equipment and then the highlight of everyone's evening, a go on the hose!

Thank you so much for letting us visit and to all the amazing Fire Fighters that put on a great evening! 👨🏻‍🚒

PCSO Jim Mulligan recently joined our Scouts to talk about his role with the British Transport Police and why staying safe around railways is so important. He shared valuable advice about railway safety and answered lots of questions about the dangers that can exist around tracks and stations.

The Scouts also had the exciting opportunity to take a look inside Jim’s police van, where they asked questions about the equipment he carries and how it’s used in his work.

A big thank you to PCSO Mulligan for taking the time to visit and help our Scouts learn more about staying safe!

Scouts from 1st Parkstone teamed up with Parkstone St Peter’s and Branksome All Saints to take on the annual Monopoly Run in London!

They spent the day exploring the city, completing challenges, and clocking up an impressive 28,000+ steps per team along the way.

A brilliant day of adventure, teamwork, and memories made.

Some of our Scouts didn’t let the weather stop them this morning and headed out for a hike in Studland.

Rain and all, they showed great resilience, determination and true Scouting spirit as they took on the map work together.

The squirrels had a great week building dens at the hall. Not sure who enjoyed it most the squirrels or the grownups.
