Every child has the right to an adventure. Life is about grabbing opportunities. The prizes don’t always go to the biggest, the best and the strongest – they go to those who persevere. These are simple life lessons that Scouting teaches. Scouting’s 500,000 members are an inspiration. It's great to see it. It's all about friendship and fun and adventure – people who might not normally have the chance for adventure. Scouts are shining lights in their communities

We are always seeking more support in our Beaver, Cub, Scout & Explorer sections. Whatever skills you can offer we would be pleased to hear from you! We appreciate that not everyone can commit on a regular basis and we are flexible to fit with whatever commitment you can offer. Full training will be given and there is always lots of help and support available from all our existing leaders. If you would like a chat, without any obligation, why not see what you can do for Scouting and see what Scouting can do for you?

On Saturday we celebrated our AGM where we presented our 2019-20 Annual Report highlighting some of the fantastic activities we had gotten upto before the pandemic hit. We are also very pleased to announce that there were several ScoutingAs Remembrance Services are not taking place this year Alsager Scout Group has paid tribute to the fallen by painting Stones of Remembrance, these have been painted by all ages and have been displayed outside the scout hall.
Throughout 2020 most activities of the Scouts have been either stopped entirely, or severely curtailed and most groups have not charged any subscriptions, and have not been able to conduct usual fundraising activities.
The effect of this has been to put some groups in areas that most need of such youth organisations in dire financial positions. In an effort to help raise funds to support these groups The Scouts Association is organising a virtual hike around the world.
Furthermore 20% will go to support the 1st Alsager Scout Group, this proportion of the fund raising will be used towards the annual HQ, County & District membership fee which is over £45 per member due in the new year. The figure would normally be collected via the termly subscriptions which we haven’t been able to fully ask for since March
Alsager Scout Group is fielding a team, and we’d be extremely great full if you would be able to sponsor the young people in their activities. We reckon we can carry the team across England, possibly the whole of Europe!
The link to sponsor the group is here: scouts.enthuse.com/pf/1st-alsager-scout-group
If you can sponsor us, that would be fantastic if not thanks for taking the time to read this post..
Thanks in advance for helping!

However The Royal British Legion Alsager Branch has decided to run a competition to give a little bit back to our wonderful community and to keep the spirit of Remembrance alive.
From Thursday 22nd October to Wednesday 11th November, they are asking households to decorate their front windows in the theme of “Remembrance”.
The only criteria that they require is that the red poppy is the main colour within the display, this is solely due to the red poppy being the symbol of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
For more details about this competition check out their page: branches.britishlegion.org.uk/branches/alsager/competition
We look forward to seeing all your wonderful displays.
