  • Lest We Forget

    Lest We Forget

    Last weekend many groups across Wolsey District gave their respects to those who fought in wars including the two world wars. Let us not forget those who during the second world war and went to the far east to fight, as well as those involved in the Korean, Falklands and Iraq wars. They gave us our rights to freedom no matter who we are.

    Thank you for sharing photos of your groups and also thank you to Robert Bray who laid the wreath on behalf of Wolsey District.

  • 1st Holbrook - looking for a Cub Lead Volunteer

    1st Holbrook - looking for a Cub Lead Volunteer

    Can you help? 1st Holbrook Scout Group, needs a new Cub lead volunteer. Cubs runs 6.30- 8.00 on a Wednesday from Freston village hall currently. 

    We are looking for a volunteer to support our amazing group working with 8-10 year olds 

    Scouting offers opportunities to young people to develop confidence, friendships, life and leadership skills through activity and adventure 

    We promote community conscious citizens and inspire our young people to follow The Scout Law

    A Scout is to be trusted.
    A Scout is loyal.
    A Scout is friendly and considerate.
    A Scout belongs to the worldwide family of Scouts.
    A Scout has courage in all difficulties.
    A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property.
    A Scout has self-respect and respect for others.

     

    We have committed group of volunteer leaders, Chair and Treasurer within the executive group.. and myself as Group Lead Volunteer . 

    Ideally we would like to find someone enthusiastic about Scouting and fundraising for the local young people, but no previous Scouting knowledge is necessary just a good communication skills, an a passion for having fun supporting others to develop life skills and engaging in outdoor learning  we have a detailed set of risk assessments and session plans but encourage our volunteers to make it their own.

    You will need to have an Enhanced DBS for the role and complete some online training and you would be fully supported in the role by myself and others..
