SCOUTS HAVE MOVED
24 September 2009
7th Swindon Scout Group, which this year celebrates it’s 10th birthday, has moved to a bigger and newer premises at Uplands School, Redhouse. Due to increasing numbers the Group had out grown it previous home.
The Group which caters for girls and boys has three sections covering Beavers (6-8 year), Cubs (8-10½ years) and Scouts (10½-14 years). A wide range of activities including camping, arts and crafts, hikes and trips which cover the wide scouting programme is on offer.
During the summer a group of Scouts took part in the WINGS international camp held at Windsor where they joined in with scouts from around the world. There has also been a Group weekend camp at Potterne, near Devizes, with activities for all three sections.
Various themed group evenings are held during the year as well as several fundraising events which raise money for the Group and for other charities. They also do work in the community and are frequent visitors to the Sevenfields Conservation area.
The Group’s next big fundraiser if the annual Swindon Scout Christmas post. Stamps go on sale at the end of November in Asda at the Orbital Park.
All three sections are always on the look out for volunteers who wish to get involved and if you feel you can spare a few hours, not necessarily every week, please contact them for more information.
