It’s Volunteers Week, celebrating everything brilliant about volunteering and encouraging new volunteers however much (or little) time they can offer, one-off or regular, but also bringing that diverse experience from everyone’s life journey, hobbies and interests.
Why not visit https://volunteeringopportunities.scouts.org.uk/ to find out more and entering a postcode of LA13 0EX and 5 mile radius, or contact any of the group section leaders. Scouting is entirely dependent on volunteers, and our group no less than others, and can be amazingly rewarding.
Plants will be ready on Saturday 17th May 2025 for those who have placed orders. Thank you for supporting our Scout groups – Beavers, Cubs and Scouts sections.
Our annual plant sale is one of our major fundraising efforts and enables us to provide quality activities and #SkillsForLife for the young people right here in our community. So not only are you getting beautiful plants but you’re doing good for your community in the process!
