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?

Even lockdown isn't stopping our Explorers continuing on their adventures. Since Easter they've been running virtual zoom meetings every Monday but this Saturday they've been involved in something extra special.
Explorers from Alsager, along representatives from Potteries North District, took part in a Zoom Campfire Night with Scouts and Venturas from Heathmont Scout Group and Adelaide Scout Group in Australia. During the session, which took place at 10:00am GMT, they participated in a range of activities, including a rendition of the Penguin Song, a group story and a truth or lies game. As the meeting drew to a close, we all shared what we enjoyed doing in Scouting. Activities included survival camps, rock climbing, igloo building, hiking and eating food. It was great for the two countries to meet up. Many thanks to Heathmont Scout Group for getting in touch - hopefully we will speak to them again in the future.
