Last night the cubs had fun getting wet at Beaudesert outdoor centre!

Kayaking and rafting building, finished off with working as a team to capsize the instructor!

As a volunteer it makes me proud to see them grow in confidence and have a go.

🌟 Celebrating Our Incredible Volunteers 🌟

As it’s Volunteers’ Week, we just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to every single person who gives their time, energy, and heart to support our group.

Whether you’re a leader, trustee, or parent helper, your contribution truly makes a difference. From organising and planning behind the scenes, to lending a hand when it’s needed most, you help create a positive, welcoming space for everyone involved.

We simply couldn’t do it without you - your dedication, kindness, and commitment are what keep our group running and thriving.

💛 Thank you for everything you do. You are appreciated more than you know. 💛

🎉 Happy 60th Anniversary to 1st Walsall Wood Scouts! 🎉
Today we celebrate six decades of adventure, community and skills for life right here in Walsall Wood.

From camps and hikes to badges, friendships and unforgettable moments, thousands of young people have been part of our story since 1966 - and we’re still going strong.

As part of our anniversary celebrations, our young people took part in a special badge‑design competition. The entries were so good that we couldn’t choose just one - so we combined three fantastic designs to create our official 60th Anniversary Badge, which every member of the group will proudly wear for the next 12 months.

A huge thank you to every young person, volunteer, parent and supporter who’s helped shape our group over the last 60 years. Here’s to the next chapter.

💚 Once a Scout, always a Scout.
