Kids Outdoors!

Look Out for the Kids Outdoors campaign, being run by the Scout Association to develop awareness of the range of outdoor activities which are available through Scouting. For more info on the campaign, click here.   

Scouting for Grown-Ups, too!

The traditional image of Scouting being for Kids is about to be blown away.  Cub Scout Leader Richard is seeking to establish a new Scout Fellowship, to serve those who want to carry on the adventure for those over 25 years old. The emphasis will definitely be on activity!

Donation to 3rd Whitton Scout Group

An unexpected but welcome donation of £500 was made to 3rd Whitton Scout Group by a benefactor in early May. The cheque was donated through the Charities Aid Foundation. GSL Phil Hunt was thrilled with the donation and clearly made the Group Secretary’s paperwork to achieve   registered charity status worthwhile! Many thanks to the donor.

District Scout Network

Launching at 3rd Whitton HQ

Making better use of our HQ at Springfield Road is a key aim of 3rd Whitton’s Executive Committee - for both Scouting activities and for use by the local community.

We are therefore pleased that the District Commissioner has asked if 3rd Whitton can host the launch of a District Scout Network, which is aimed at Scouting for the 18-25 age range.
