Not all our volunteers run sessions…
This one helped us by making 30 bean bags for the upcoming beaver Olympics evening!

Not all heroes wear capes… some wear scout uniforms 😉

Let us know if you have a skilll that you’d like to share… like the ability to whip up some bean bags… or bake… or tie knots… or gardening…

The list of how you could help is endless…

Our friends over in Yeovil…

For anyone that loves a bit of bingo. Raising funds for the explorer belt challenge that 3 of our young leaders are taking part in this summer

We are often asked if we have space for new young people, and the honest answer is that we usually have a waiting list.

That said, it is never too early to get your child’s name down. We welcome young people from age 6 upwards, and spaces do come up over time.

Scouts is not just about activities, although there is plenty of that. It is about building confidence, learning to work with others, trying things that might feel a bit daunting at first, and being part of something bigger than yourself.

We are a local, volunteer-led group, and everything we do is rooted in the community around us.

If you would like to find out more, or add your child to the list, please get in touch.

One of the highlights from camp… the rope swing 🌳

Took a bit of bravery for some, no hesitation at all from others 😅

Always good to see them pushing themselves and cheering each other on

This is what it’s all about

We’ve finally counted it all up…

Our first year of Scout Post raised £184.20 🎉

Genuinely blown away by the support in our year.
Every card delivered, every donation, every bit of help adds up and makes a real difference for our group.

It helps us keep costs down, buy equipment, and give the young people more opportunities they might not otherwise get.

So from all of us… thank you 💚

We'll be back for a bigger and better scout post 2026!

A huge thank you to Jonny and his team from Sherborne Fire Station.
We visited them as part of our safety badge, and they were awesome!
We had a look around the station, saw what was on the 🚒, learned all about 🔥 hazards and what 🧑‍🚒 do, and we even had a go on the hoses! 💦 The kids, and leaders (and even some parents) and a brilliant time! Thanks Jonny and team!

If you have a child that’s nearly 6, please get in touch as we will have spaces soon and we do lots of exciting things like this!!

If you're thinking of taking up cold water swimming this winter, knowing what to do if you start to struggle in water is important, so you do not panic if you find yourself in difficulty.

How to float:
- Lie on your back with your head tilted back and your ears under the water
- Try to relax and breathe normally.
- Gently move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat if you need to.
- Spread your arms and legs out to improve stability – and it’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently.
- Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety.
