Beavers, Cubs & Scouts at the 46th.
My parents were both Cub leaders at the 36th/51st in Earlsdon before I was born, and then moved to the 46th as Cub leaders when they moved to Allesley Park, this meant it was inevitable I would join the movement.
Seeing the joy in the young people’s eyes when they learn a new skill or take part in a new activity they have never tried before.
I am a keen grower of all things edible, having taken over an allotment in 2024 and with the ambition to grow at least 50% of our family's vegetable requirements ourselves. I also sew, opting to make do and mend as much as possible. Otherwise, you will find me cooking or reading, quiet activities that offer me much joy.

I was a brownie and a girl guide in Dorset, where I grew up. My family were heavily involved with my mum being a leader for many years.
I find the ethos and values of scouting match my own - to provide a positive environment for all people to come together to gain skills and a sense of inclusion and belonging. My youngest son wanted to be involved and as a "do-er" I felt compelled to support the 46th to continue doing what they do so well.
The skills that young people, and adult supporters/volunteers, are able to gain in a safe and welcoming environment.
Gardening, chicken keeping, DIY, cooking, walking, spending time with family & friends or generally being sociable. Keen interest in recycling, re-purposing, saving money & all things finance.

Nope, my family's religion did not allow involvement. However one of my friends was a Brownie & Guide and I was always rather envious of what she got up to. That said, I am the youngest of 7 and our family was always out doing something practical and we spent a lot of time in our large garden growing vegetables, caring for the land, keeping bees, chickens, pheasants, peacocks & even a few goats. We were very hands-on and involved with maintenence of our property.
My daughter joined Scouts in winter 2018 and at the first AGM, I identified where I could contribute by using my interest in finance & saving money to help out.
Being part of a group of people that has a genuine interest in giving young people practical, useful, engaging opportunities to step away from social media and learn about others.
My hobbies are more indoor based. I do enjoy walking. I love walking in the Lake District as well as The Peaks and The Cotswolds. I love a good book and enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles.

As a young person I was a Brownie and Girl Guide. As a Guide I was a helper with both the Rainbow and Brownie groups.
My older children enjoyed being a part of scouting when they were younger and more my younger children are enjoying all of the benefits of being a part of a scouting group. This is my way of supporting an amazing organisation, of giving something back.
