Paulton Scout Group is growing! We have been actively recruiting new members, and have successfully increased our Cub and Beaver sections.
Being part of the 2nd Paulton Scout Group is all about enjoying life to the full, having fun and helping others. If you have a child aged between 6 and 8 years old they can join our Beaver Colony. If they are aged between 8 and 10 they can join our Cub Pack, and if they are between 10 and 14, they can join our Scout Troop.
Explorer Scouts are young people, aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth section of the Scouting family. Not all Units meet each week, because they are often out and about at weekends or in the holidays doing activities. There will be times when young people will be busy doing other things such as exams, and being an Explorer Scout has to fit around these. The nearest Units are based at Midsomer Norton, High Littleton and Saltford. It is hoped to start a new Unit in the Chew Valley area before long. By organising Explorer Scouts on a District basis, many more activities are possible, not just those a single Unit organises.
For information about Explorer Scouting in Wansdyke District, please contact Ian Carter: carts@blueyonder.co.uk
Paulton Scout Group runs a varied programme of activities for each of our sections.
The Scout Group is supported by the Group Executive Committee.
The role of the Committee is to ensure that we run a balanced and appropriate programme of activities, and to organise fundraising events to maintain the Group and to purchase new equipment.
If you can spare a little bit of time - a couple of hours one evening every few months for a meeting, plus a few extra hours to help at events - please speak to one of the leaders. We have various vacancies within the Group Executive Committee.
