We are extremely proud that one of our previous Scouts has been very fortunate to be selected to attend the World Scout Jamboree 2027 in Poland, and would like to ask for your help, so we will let Noa explain his own words...

"Hello there, my name is Noa, and I'm proud to be a part of Unit 5 of the UK contingent that will be attending the 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Gdańsk, Poland. I was the first scout in my scout group to achieve my gold award in over 10 years, and now I am the first member to attend the World Scout Jamboree in our group's 80-year history.

This is a tremendous privilege to attend the world's LARGEST scouting meetup, which only happens every 4 years, where groups from around the world meet and share their culture, history, and together we experience the true meaning of Scouting. With over 40,000 people attending, it is truly a moment to be remembered, and I hope that by donating, you will be able to witness my travels from Risca, South Wales, to Gdańsk, Poland.

To raise the funds for this trip, I will be holding events ranging far and wide in an attempt to raise the funds. Documented here on my GoFundMe page, you’ll be able to see what I'm getting up to every month and see how far I get to my goal. So I ask, please donate. Every donation, no matter how small, allows me to get closer to attending this once-in-a-lifetime event. I appreciate every form of support that can get me closer to my goal, and simply thank you for your kindness."

🌟 Vote for 5th Risca Scouts at “Risca Decides”! 🌟

For over 80 years, 5th Risca Scout Group has been part of our town’s heart — helping generations of young people (and adults!) learn skills for life, make friends, and grow in confidence. 💚

Now, we’re asking for your support to help us continue that tradition through our new project:
🏕️ Healthy Scouts, Healthy Risca 🏕️

With funding from Risca Decides, we’ll be able to buy:
🍳 Camp cooking gear – to teach healthy, affordable meals
🥾 Hiking & outdoor equipment – to get young people active and outdoors
🌱 Gardening tools & materials – to help Scouts learn about food, nutrition, and wellbeing

This project will help tackle local issues like mental health, isolation, and youth engagement, giving young people safe, positive spaces to grow — and helping to build a stronger, healthier Risca for everyone.

💚 How you can help:
Come along to the Risca Decides public voting event on the 22nd November at Risca Rugby Club 10.30-1pm and vote for 5th Risca Scouts!
Every single vote makes a difference — helping us continue to support our community for the next 80 years and beyond.

Important update from ScoutsCymru regarding CRAI Scout Activity Park

CRAI Scout Activity Park is an inclusive and welcoming campsite and activity centre in the South Wales Valleys offering a range of outdoor activities for youth and community groups.

We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s who were leaving after visiting our activity centre and are working closely with the South Wales Police to address this situation.

We are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone on site and will continue to take immediate and robust action against any behaviour that threatens this.
