Wisborough Green Scouts prepare for September
W
orks are now well underway at Wisborough Green Scout Hut to prepare it for the return of Scouting in September. Volunteers from the District Scout Active Support Unit have been cleaning out unwanted and old equipment, tidying and cleaning the hut and sorting through piles of wood in the grounds to make sure there’s plenty of space to run safe and fun activities for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. The next project is the kitchen; we’ve removed most of the old units and are now planning how to turn the space into another usable area for running activities. Throughout lockdown we found that cooking was one of the favourite online activities and we plan to keep that going. We’ve kindly been donated a new double oven and this project is currently developing over the summer holidays.
But of course we need adults to run the group and we are pleased to report that this team is already growing with new Executive Committee members on board plus a Beaver Leader and a Skills Leader. Enquiries for joining the new Beaver and Cub units are coming in so we hope to have more leaders in place before the summer to allow training to start before our launch in September. For more information about this exciting project or to register your interest please contact us at wisgreen@ pandpscouts.org.uk.

Volunteering goes both ways. It’s good for them, and it’s good for you We all want young people to have the chance to dream big, give it a go and build the skills for life. But it’s not just the young people who bene昀t from Scouts. Volunteering is good for boosting your wellbeing, developing CV-friendly skills, making friends and building memories . Whether you want to support young people or if you’re more comfortable planning an adventure from the sidelines, we’ve got a space for you.
Wisborough Green Scout Group is looking for adults to support all elements of the Group, both in uniform and behind the scenes. Please email us for more information wisgreen@pandpscouts.org.uk www.pandpscouts.org.uk #GoodForYou
