**Torphins Beavers & Cubs Need You!**

Torphins’ youngest adventurers are full of energy, imagination and enthusiasm — what we’re short of are a few more adults to help guide them. Volunteers don’t need to be parents; anyone with a bit of time and a steady sense of humour can make a real difference.

Supporting Beavers and Cubs is rewarding, sociable and a good way to help children in the village grow in confidence and learn new skills. Whether someone is good at campfire stories, craft, games or simply turning up and joining in, there’s a place for them.

Right now, we’re in the unfortunate position where, without new adult volunteers, both sections may have to close. That would be a real loss for the young people who gain so much from taking part.

If you know someone who could lend a hand — weekly, fortnightly or occasionally — please point them our way. A warm welcome, training and plenty of support await.

Our cubs have been busy making some brilliant posters to advertise this year's Christmas card deliveries in the village. If you have cards you would like delivered in the village just pop them into the chemist and we will do the rest. 📮✉️🎄

We will remember them.

We have space in each of our section for folk to join in the fun. Don’t fret, you don’t need to be a camping survival expert able to navigate through fog eating only leaves and berries. If you can hold your own in a pancake decorating contest or poke thirty marshmallows onto sticks, you’ll make it. If you’re willing to give anything a try, we can teach you the camping survival bit. It doesn’t even need to be you! It could be a relative, friend, or neighbour.
Our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers need folk to support them, keep them safe and give them a quality experience. We cannot do this without volunteers. If we don’t have sufficient volunteers coming through training for each section, our young people’s experience will suffer.
If you or someone you know could help 1st Torphins Scout Group, please get in touch.

First Torphins Scouts had an action-packed weekend at Cullen Residential Centre! 🌊 Scouts learned to surf and tried coasteering — swimming through sea caves and braving the North Sea. Even our leaders stepped out of their comfort zones and got stuck in!
A brilliant experience for everyone involved.
Interested in becoming a leader or running a session for our scouts? We’d love to hear from you – please get in touch!

Some of our Torphins cubs had a fantastic time last weekend at The Howling, a Scottish cub camp packed full of fun, exciting activities and meeting new friends.
All possible due to our amazing team of volunteer leaders! 😊🎉
