Scouts

Scouting is an organisation designed to allow young people to  learn new skills, make friends and enjoy spending time outdoors. There are different sections for different age groups, ranging from 4 to 25 years old. The Scouts are for children aged 10½ to 14.  Some of our activities include camping, fire lighting, cooking, knife skills, hiking, model making, science experiments, community projects and many, many more. Scouting is for everyone, so just let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We encourage you to try out a few sessions before fully committing!

Meetings

1st Little Heath Scouts meet from 19:00-20:30 every term-time Wednesday. We are currently based at Northaw Scout hut whilst we rebuild our scout hut. We will keep you up to date with everything via our WhatsApp group.

We will regularly ask for parent helpers to allow us to keep a safe ratio of children to adults, so it’s appreciated if you are able to help occasionally (but we don’t require it). It’s a great opportunity to see what your children have been getting up to!

Leaders

The Scout group is run by Chris Pearson (Skip) and Paul MacDonald with help from regular volunteer Cathy Brothers. We are always in need of additional helpers — so please let us know if you’re able to help out at all.

Please get in touch with us using the Contact Us page.
