Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts - exciting opportunities for youngsters
Do you know a boy or girl aged between 4 and 14 who would like to join any of the above sections?
The 175th Derby Scout Group have a few vacancies in each of these sections. With over 250 activities, there is something for everyone. Badges that can be earnt across all of the sections include air activities, community impact, emergency aid, musician, nights away, swimmer and time on the water.
Volunteer Sue Harris said: “Across all the sections, children and young people can learn and develop skills such as teamwork, problem solving, leadership, self-confidence, social skills and independence.”
In a recent report from Stephanie Simmons, she said there are twelve reasons why joining Scouts enhances a child’s development. These include: builds confidence and self-esteem; promotes outdoor skills; encourages community involvement and physical activity; offers fun and adventure; and builds lifelong friendships. She finished the report by detailing how being involved in Scouting has a positive impact on young people as she sees them develop from a shy young child to a confident teenager.
Sue added: “We are also looking for more adults to get involved in helping with the sections or as a trustee or to help with fund raising.” She detailed that whatever time people could give, the Group would find a role for them.
