62nd Portsmouth Scout Group - Cosham

Scouting offers fun, challenge and everyday adventure to 400,000 girls and boys across the UK.

Provide fun, adventure & skills for life and give young people the chance to enjoy new adventures, experience outdoors & take part in a range of activities, gain confidence and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Offering over 200 different activities from abseiling and archery to drama, street sports and water zorbing, Scouting helps 6-25 year olds grow in confidence, achieve their full potential and become active members of their communities. This is only possible through the efforts of 100,000 volunteers who also enjoy the fun and friendship of Scouting. Trusted by nearly a million parents each week, the movement welcomes members from all backgrounds, faiths and cultures. Special emphasis is placed on bringing the Scouting programme to young people who currently do not benefit, particularly those in inner cities, those in rural areas and other disadvantaged groups. The Scout Association is a registered charity in the UK and part of a worldwide movement of 31 million Scouts, working for peace and global friendship.

Hampshire Scouts Skills Weekend.
Leaders learning skills to enrich our programme. We had a lot of fun at workshops learning different knots, wide games and trails. We also attended sessions to help us support our Young Leaders and to use the features on OSM. We also spent Saturday afternoon learning backwoods cooking skills with recipes to do with all our sections - Squirrels through to Scouts, including cooking in a mud oven. If we can successfully cook in Saturdays stormy weather then we should be fine on any future camps! It was also great chatting to lots of other volunteers to exchange ideas.

Thanks to our leaders who helped get the Scout Hut ready for the Autumn Term.
Especially Dan (Scouts Leader) who has taken on a new role as Quartermaster. Now that our roof is watertight he emptied, sorted and repacked the store cupboard, including finding space for everything we'd been temporarily storing in the hall and 2nd toilet room, giving us more usable space in the main hall.
Lucy (Scout Leader and Assistant Group Lead Volunteer) organised Network Rail to trim back the brambles growing through the fence and also cleared brambles on the hut side. She also organised a meeting with Men's Shed to see if they can help us.
Lastly big thanks to puppy Jacques who cleared up & took home a stray dolls head thrown over from the park! 😂

Gillwell Reunion 100
2026 marked the 100th Gilwell Reunion, making it an extra-special historic celebration. 62nd Leaders joined in with training sessions, programme idea workshops, visited exhibitions and enjoyed networking and sharing ideas.
We also had a great time socialising while enjoying live music, campfires and silent discos!

Big thank you to FDC Roofing & Building who have done a great job on our new Scout Hut roof.
We're now watertight & have new insulation ready for the Winter!
We'd definitely recommend them - good communication & left the place nice and tidy afterwards.
