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?

At this time of year we would normally be reminding you about the Alsager Remembrance Day Parade, but sadly this year there will be no parade.
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.

It was great for many of them to be able to meet each other face to face again for the first time in months!
Last night our Explorers took part in another great bike ride alongside the awesome Alsager Harlequins Cycle Group! They all had a fantastic time on a lovely evening, many thanks to Dave, Rob and Simon for organising 😀
