Scouts (10 1/2 to 14 years)
Scouts take part in a wide range of activities from archery to expeditions. There are many awards which they wear on their navy uniform. The programme of activities encourages Scouts to find out more about the world in which they live, know their own abilities and try something different.

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?

We would like to thank all our scouts, explorers and leaders who took part in our tidy and clean up today.
As a result the stores are now tidy and well sorted. A job well done!
The only thing missing from our team is you! No matter your skill set or time commitments. Not all roles require 'full uniform' but all will make a huge impact on young people lives and your own.
We run sections every night of the week but without our amazing volunteers we're unable to continue.
We have a wide and diverse team that bring different skill sets to the group, we have company directors, mechanics, office workers, police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses, bankers, catering and bar staff, warehouse workers, tradesmen & stay at home parents to name just a few occupations. They all bring such a different viewpoint to the group and its this attitude that makes us such a dynamic and over subscribed Scout Group in the area.
There are a number of benefits you can gain from volunteering. Spending time with your child, learning new skills and contributing to your local community are just a few of the reasons why our Current Leaders choose to spend some of their time in Scouting.

We had the pleasure of holding a BBQ and Archery evening (the two things we do best!) for the visiting 1st Malew Scout Group from the Isle of Man last week. It was a great opportunity for some of our explorers and leaders to talk to their young people and adults and learn about scouting and life on the Island! Many thanks 1st Malew Scouts - Fundraising & Events
Many thanks to 1st Malew for coming to visit us, and a special thank you all those from Alsager who came down.
