1st Dorcan Scout Group "Outdoors & Active" Established in 1985 when 23rd Swindon & 26th Swindon merged to become 1st Dorcan. Will you come and join the adventure?

1st Dorcan Scout group offer a range of adventurous activities such as kayaking, archery and hiking. We like to take on challenges whether it's zooming on zip wire or completing the crate stacking tower as a team! We teach from learning to camp outdoors and cooking on an open fire to practising first aid and learning how to do a chore or two. We encourage our young people to take on leadership roles and to work together as a team, a core ingredient for the big wide world. This teaches them social skills, communication and gives them the opportunity to think outside the box and take initiative. Our programme is a mixture of adult and youth led, the young people have a voice and are able to choose activities and even plan section evenings which covers a wide range of badges. Each section has a top award which the young people can work towards achieving and is reflection of how hard they've worked to gain this. We're all inclusive, no matter your gender, race, disability or SEN. To enquire personal message us on Facebook or email [email protected]

Beavers 🦫 still got to participate in the small walk to the park but again we couldn’t go on the equipment due to the weather making it too slippery 💦

We learnt all about the green cross code and how to look after ourselves on a hike 🌳🪵

Unfortunately due to the weather the park equipment was very wet and slippery 💦 so Squirrels 🐿️ couldn’t go on that adventure… so instead we went on a different adventure: We’re going on a bear hunt.

We army crawled through the grass, pulled our friends out of the mud, paddled through the water, stumbled through the forest, threw snowballs in the snowstorm and then tiptoed into the cave to find a bear 🐻
