🏠 Help Secure the Future of Scouting in Scarborough 🏠

For generations, First Scarborough Scouts has provided young people with adventure, friendship, skills for life, and a safe place to grow and thrive.

Unfortunately, the roof of their Scout Headquarters now needs significant repair and replacement work to ensure the building remains safe, dry, and fit for future generations of Scouts.

The group has launched a fundraising campaign and needs the support of our local community. Every donation, no matter the size, will help protect this valuable community asset and ensure that hundreds of young people can continue to benefit from Scouting for years to come.

Please consider making a donation and sharing this appeal with your friends, family, and local businesses.

Together, we can help keep Scouting thriving in Scarborough. Thank you for your support. 💜

As part of Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a huge thank you to every single volunteer across Scarborough & District Scouts.

From planning programmes and running meetings, to organising camps, fundraising, maintaining buildings, driving minibuses, making teas, completing paperwork, and everything in between — none of what we do would be possible without you.

Our volunteers give up their time, energy, skills, and weekends to help young people gain skills for life, create memories, and experience adventures they’ll never forget.

Whether you’ve been volunteering for 60 years or 6 weeks, thank you for everything you do. Your commitment makes an incredible difference to so many young people across our district.

Happy Volunteers’ Week — this week is for you 💜

Tragic news this week about young lives lost whilst swimming during the recent heatwave. Please take a moment to read and share this important information so more people are aware of the dangers of cold water.

Even on hot days, lakes, reservoirs, rivers and the sea can remain dangerously cold.

⚠️ Key Risks of Cold Water Swimming ⚠️

Cold shock is the immediate physiological response when entering water below 15°C. It can cause:
• An involuntary gasp
• Rapid breathing
• Increased heart rate and blood pressure

This can lead to inhaling water and drowning within seconds — even for strong swimmers.

Please remember:
💧 Never jump straight into open water
💧 Enter the water slowly
💧 Avoid swimming alone
💧 Be aware of hidden currents and sudden drops
💧 If someone gets into difficulty, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard or Fire & Rescue Service

Please help us spread awareness and keep young people safe this summer.
