2nd West Drayton Scout Group

We had lovely weather on Sunday as all sections ventured into the City centre to learn about London in the past as part of our 'London Challenge Award'.

We looked at The Great Fire of London, architecture and rebuilding afterwards, everything from Modern, Tudors back to Roman London. With an incredible experience in the Mithraeum before lunch we went all together (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Young Leaders) to visit the Roman Amphitheatre where we invested one of our newest leaders.

Wow!

What a brilliant and busy weekend for our Scout group!

Our CamJam contingent were up early on Saturday to put the final plans in place for their fundraiser on July 4th, before a group of Scouts, Cubs, Young Leaders and Leaders popped over to St. Martins Church Fair, offering our time and enthusiasm for this years 'Big Help Out' week.

Your presence was definitely a positive, with so many members of our community glad to see Scouts out and about in the community (and we may even have some new friends to join us next term!).

Please keep July 4th in your diary and come along to support these young people with their fundraising efforts!

Our Scouts can’t wait for CamJam next summer but need your help! They have planned a fundraising event to help support the cost of attending an international jamboree and need your support.
Games, refreshments, raffle, handmade goods for sale and much more! You may even get to sponge a Scout or two!
This event is open to all but please bring plenty of change!

Did you spot Scouts out and about on Sunday 25th April for St George’s day?

We were delighted to part of of the almost 400 members of Hillingdon West District to parade in celebration of our movements patron, St George.

We’re very proud of our young people who turned out and took part, well done all!

Happy birthday, Sir David Attenborough! You've inspired generations to become champions for nature and planet Earth.

Sometimes you need longer than we have on a section meeting evening, sometimes you want to meet the team for child's future section, sometimes you just want to sit with a cup of tea and make paracord keychains!

Our team are available at the Scout Hut each first of the month for a catch up and a cuppa.

Looking for secondhand uniform? This will be available for purchase on these mornings. We have a wide range of nearly new outdoor clothing, equipment and shoes as well so let us know if you're looking for something particular. All sales support the group directly.

So join us for a tea or coffee, maybe a bit of gardening or crafting or even just a chat.

Please note there is no Open Hut session on August 1st as we'll be getting ready for summer camp!

As we hurtle towards half term we've had a busy start to the summer.

Lots of hard work in the garden, lots of skills brushed up ready for camps and events on the horizon.

Our CamJam team had their first planning day together, thinking about what going to a jamboree involves, some key advice from our KIJ veterans and building those team skills that will help us have an incredible time next year!

We're about to start reaching out to our Young People due to move sections and those on our waiting list to allocate places for Autumn term so if you're thinking of joining us it's a great time to get in touch!

Attention climbers! We're hoping to replace some of our older rope and boost our rope stores in the most environmentally friendly way possible. All of our sections have learnt alot about how important reduce-reuse-recycle can be and we need your help for this project!

We are specifically looking for rope that is no longer suitable for climbing but would still be perfectly safe for knot‑tying practice. Our young people regularly work on developing their ropework skills, and having real rope to handle makes a huge difference to their learning.

Any lengths you are able to spare would be gratefully received and put to good use.

Please let me know if this is something you might be able to help with!
