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?

CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION 2020 - REMINDER
Unfortunately for this year only due to Scouting COVID restrictions, Alsager Scouts have taken the decision to not go ahead with our annual Christmas Tree Collection.
However, we are pleased to say that St Luke's Hospice have contacted us and agreed to extend their coverage this year only to ST7 2 post codes, so residents of Alsager can continue to have their real trees collected and donate to charity.
We would love it if you could support this fantastic cause this year. You are able to schedule your collection here

I just registered my Christmas tree for collection on JustHelping's website - you can register yours too: charityxmastreecollection.com/Fantastic news on Christmas Day. Lots of our leaders are always very excited to support the Santa Float each year and this year was no exception.
Merry Christmas everybody 🎄 🎅🏻With the vast majority of our fundraising efforts this year frustrated by Covid and everyone generally feeling the pinch, we are thankful beyond words for the support you've shown for this year's Santa Float
The event has broken our previous Santa Float fundraising record by over 35% and given our charity fund a much needed boost - thank you so much!
With vaccines now being rolled out, the days of restriction look numbered and we're busy making plans to resume our events in 2021. Look out for details appearing here and in local press in due course
All that remains for 2020 is for us to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year
Timeline PhotosWell there are not enough words to explain how THANKFUL we are to you all, we often say we couldn't do it without you.
This year we really couldn't have done it without you, it has certainly been the most challenging for many reasons, we would really like to thank people individually but we have had so much suppport we can't manage that, so here we go
THANK YOU TO all the following and sorry if we've left anyone out
Alsager Roundtable - Rotary - Football Club - Golfclub - Churches - Scouts and Guides - Schools - Childminders - Nursery Schools - Ladies Circle - Slimming Groups - Support Centre - Partnership - Supermarkets - Businesses -Charities - GP Surgeries - Rode Heath Groups and Churches - All Individuals Young and Old (and those inbetween)
Not to forget our own volunteers who have coped with so many changes during the year, well done to everyone, when we've had a couple of days off we will get some idea of people we have helped and post some figures of those you have all managed to help during this year which has undoubtedly been our most challenging.
Stay safe everyone and have a happy and healthy Christmas and year ahead (please share so we get our thanks out to so many people who have helped in 2020)

I just registered my Christmas tree for collection on JustHelping's website - you can register yours too: charityxmastreecollection.com/Tonight, Phoenix Explorers took part in a hockey session at the Sports Hub. Many thanks to Chris and Suzanne from Triton Hockey Club for the support!
Triton have catered for loads of our members over the years with hockey taster sessions.
A fantastic event that we are greatly missed this year but what a fantastic video!
Tonight our Explorers had a very cold but fun session down at Borrow Pit.
It was also an extra special evening, as at the end we thanked Abi for her 4 years in Explorers and many more years in Alsager Scouts where she has helped with dozens of fundraising events and supported our Beaver colonies as a Young Leader.
We wish her all the best for the future.
