Big Adventures. New Friendships. Skills for Life!. Scouting for Ages 4 – 18 in Shelford & East Bridgford.
Welcome
Our Group consists of one Squirrel Drey, a Beaver Colony, a Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit. All sections meet at ‘Scout HQ’, which is situated on Butt Close (Butt Field) with footpath access off Main Street, and Kneeton Road, East Bridgford. All group members that progress to the Explorer Unit are more than welcome to help out as “Young Leaders” with any of the other sections.
The Group can always benefit from assistance, either as a Leader, helper or a member of the Group’s Board of Trustees or even as occasional specialist skills instructor, passing on skills or hobbies. If you would like to join our Group, or help in any capacity, call Steve Cumberland on 07990 571515 or email him: steve.cumberland@notts-scouts.org.uk
