_Future Development, Activities and Achievements_ 

The Group is currently looking for new leaders in all sections to support our current leaders and we have a huge number of young people in all sections.  If you do wish to help in any way, please speak to the leaders.  We are however very well placed to deliver the Scouting Programme and to provide quality Scouting to young people from ages 6 to 14, plus Young Leaders to the age of 18. 

The Group's figures showed 417 plus 32 Young Leaders making us still one of the largest in the UK.  We can be justly proud to belong to such a well-supported Scout group. 

For the future, “Carry on the Same” - as the quality of Scouting is very high and why change a good thing.  We are aiming to DBS clear more adults to help and to recruit more leaders and have them fully trained and we will continue to provide games, crafts, badges, adventurous activities, indoor and outdoor camps etc and whenever we see the opportunity will introduce new activities. We will continue to provide a very high-quality programme of exciting, fun and adventurous activities for our young people.
