Billy & Waggle Home Visits

September 26, 2023

Our mascots visit a young person from their section each week. These are their adventures.

Billy's had a chilled visit with H, relaxing and having a sleepover. We played minecraft on the Switch and celebrated H's birthday.

Waggle's adventures with J this week included going for a bike ride together, watching the rugby, baking chocolate cookies and going for a swim.

Thanks for the visit guys!

Billy & Waggle on a Summer Holiday

September 1, 2023

Billy & Waggle had several adventures this summer. They went kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling and hiking. They made it to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and joined The Great Woggle JOGLE crew on their epic journey (well at least for a little bit of it). Hope you have all had a great summer too. What adventures have you been up to?

We've got our new air rifle range up and running, with the first Scouts having a shooting session yesterday. Looking forward to running more sessions over the summer.

John's Lee Wood Group Camp

July 3, 2023

We had a fantastic time on group camp this weekend at John's Lee Wood. Somehow, amongst all the activities and a long hike from the campsite to Old John in Bradgate Park and back, we still had time to relax, play games with friends and have fun. It was great to see the sections together!

Wild West Squirrelly Beaveree

June 12, 2023

Our Beaver Scouts joined 5 other groups from Bablake District for our Wild West Squirrelly Beaveree on Saturday. 108 young people, plus their leaders, gathered together for 6 hours of sunny cowboy fun. Impromptu water fights were, of course, in order, given the heat we tried to escape in the shade as much as possible! Pretty sure they will have all slept well Saturday night.

One of our Beavers had the honour of helping to raise the flag at the opening of the day and was also awarded his Bronze award during the campfire. So proud of him!
