🌟 Volunteers’ Week 2026 🌟

This Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all the amazing volunteers who make 40th Rochdale Scout Group possible.

Every week, our volunteers give their time, energy, skills and enthusiasm to create opportunities, adventures and memories for our young people. From planning activities and running meetings to helping behind the scenes, our group simply could not exist without them.

40th Rochdale Scout Group was reopened in 2019 after being closed for more than 10 years due to a lack of volunteers. Thanks to the dedication of a small team, we have been able to grow and provide Scouting opportunities for local young people once again.

However, like many community organisations, we are feeling the pressure. Our current volunteers work incredibly hard, but we are stretched, and we urgently need more adults to join our team if we are to continue providing the high-quality programme our young people deserve.

You don’t need previous Scouting experience, special skills, or lots of spare time. Whether you can help every week, occasionally, behind the scenes, or with a specific skill, there is a role for everyone.

If you have ever thought about getting involved, now is the perfect time. Volunteering is a fantastic way to support your local community, learn new skills, make friends, and help shape the lives of young people.

If you’d like to find out more about our group and volunteering with 40th Rochdale Scout Group take a look at our website https://sykescouts.org

Together, we can ensure Scouting continues to thrive for future generations. 💜⚜️

There are 21 groups across Pennine Scout District

AHOY THERE BEAVERS!! 🏴‍☠️💙🦫⚜️

Syke Scout Group - 40th Rochdale’s Cub pack created a sweet treat for

Cinder toffee (or honeycomb) is a classic example of kitchen science… 🧪The science part is relying on the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarb within concentrated sugar syrup to create a brittle, airy, and bubbly texture. In a nut shell, when sugar and syrup are heated upto 150 degrees (it’s "hard-crack" stage), the sugar turns into a viscous liquid, when you add baking soda this then reacts to release carbon dioxide gas, trapping bubbles in the mixture before it sets.

This is how honeycomb is made! 🤩

Fancy having a go at home?! Here’s the recipe https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/honeycomb_80005

Apparently you can store it in an air tight container and it last for weeks… our Cubs made theirs for someone special last night.. we’re not even sure it will make it to Sunday!! 😂

🏕️ 40th Rochdale Scouts – “Get Me Out of Here!” Camp 🌿🔥

Our Scouts took on the ultimate survival challenge last weekend at our “I’m a Scout… Get Me Out of Here!” themed camp at Ashworth Valley Scout CampSite, where two teams went head-to-head – Koalas 🐨 vs Kangaroos 🦘.

Despite sub-zero temperatures, our brave Scouts cooked pancakes outdoors for breakfast (yes… in the freezing cold! 🥶🥞). They faced bush tucker trials, tackled tough challenges, and earned Dingo Dollars to spend at the legendary Cleo’s Café.

Scouts also stepped outside their comfort zones by learning how to gut and prepare a fish — a true back-to-basics survival skill! 🐟🔪 Not for the squeamish, but everyone gave it a go.

Teamwork was on full display as Scouts rustled up an incredible Saturday night curry, cooking enough to feed the entire camp – which was absolutely delicious! 🍛🔥

After a weekend packed with resilience, teamwork, laughter, and plenty of challenges, it was the Kangaroos 🦘 who bounced their way to victory, earning the most stars overall! ⭐🏆

A massive well done to all our Scouts for their determination, positivity, and brilliant camp spirit. You displayed how truly great our troop of young people are!

They worked in teams to crack:
