A huge thank you for the invite to Pocklington Rugby in the Community volunteer awards. ✨️

Being a scout leader is about providing the opportunity for young people to learn new skills and get hands on practical experience.

It is a huge privilege and something we are incredibly passionate about. It helps us learn new skills, make amazing friendships and become part of a wonderful community.

It's lovely to spend time with lots of people who give up their time to make Pocklington the great friendly community it is. 💜

🌊⚜️ Today at the House of Commons, 1st Pocklington Scout Group was proud to support the launch of BeFloodReady with Flood Re.

As flooding becomes an increasing challenge for communities across the UK, BeFloodReady aims to equip people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to understand flood risk and build resilience.

Working alongside partners from across the flood industry, we have helped design a Scouting programme that launches a brand-new national BeFloodReady badge. Young people will earn the badge by completing practical activities and real-world flood resilience challenges, helping them understand how to prepare for, respond to and recover from flooding.

This Saturday, we'll launch this exciting event right here in Yorkshire. We're incredibly proud that 1st Pocklington Scout Group, covering Pocklington, Stamford Bridge, Melbourne, Market Weighton and Holme upon Spalding Moor, will be the first Scout District in the country to complete the BeFloodReady challenge, with every young person receiving the brand-new commemorative blanket badge.

💙 Ready. Resilient. Prepared.

🌟A huge thank you to Humberside Police! 🌟

Last night our Cubs worked towards their Home Safety Badge, and we were incredibly lucky to be joined by our amazing local officers. They spent the evening working closely with our very excited Cubs — exploring hazards in the home, learning how to protect their property, and understanding who to call in different scenarios. It was a brilliant, hands‑on session that kept every Cub engaged from start to finish. We’re so grateful for the time, energy and enthusiasm the officers brought, and we hope this is the start of a long‑term partnership.

Thank you for everything you do to support our community 🚔👮‍♀️🚨🚓 💙

Later this month, 1st Pocklington Scout Group are proud to be taking part in the first ever BeFloodReady activity day. The day, design by industry leaders, will provide interactive activities to discover, prepared, act and respond to flooding.

As a community that has be impacted by flooding, its important that our young people learning about flood risk and how they can be ready should it occur again. Even better for the young people attending.....they will all receive the new BeFloodReady blanket badge!

The event is open to all scouting and guide groups across the Humberside area and we cant wait to join them! If you are one of these groups, please reach out and we can share further details.

🌟 The posties been! 🌟

It's been a busy half term at 1st Pocklington Scouts, with our young people taking part in lots of exciting activities, learning new skills, and creating great memories along the way.

We're now looking forward to our Annual General Meeting this week, where we'll celebrate the fantastic achievements of all our young people. We'll also be presenting a number of our section's top awards to those who have worked incredibly hard to earn them.

For many, it will also be a special evening as they prepare to move up into the next Scout section and begin their next adventure.

As volunteers, it is a real privilege to support these amazing young people, watch them grow in confidence, develop new skills, and achieve so much. We are incredibly proud of every one of them and can't wait to celebrate their successes together 🥳
