In the 9th Lewisham North, Scouting is not only about the activities, but also about working within a group, taking increased responsibility as you get older and most importantly making good friends.

We are confident our Group has something to special to offer. If you want to find out more, please contact our Group Scout Leader Jamie Wheeler on 020 8852 6394 or 07745 116064 or email: mail@jamiewheeler.co.uk

Wednesday 6.00 pm and 7.30pm

Leader: Sally Henry

Young people can join Beaver Scouts in the three months leading up to their sixth birthday. Easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others. 

The weekly meetings involve team games and activities based on fun and making friends. Beavers Scout spend time making things and can earn badges and awards within a group environment. Our Beavers are very active enjoying various activities and outings.

Cub Scouts

Boys aged 8-10 years

Monday  6.15pm and 7.45pm

Leader: David Brooks

There are loads of fun things you can do as a Cub Scout. You will get the chance to try lots of different activities like swimming, music, exploring, computing and collecting.

Cub Scouts also go on trips to places like the zoo, theme parks and farms. There are even opportunities to go camping with the rest of the pack.

The weekly meetings include a mixture of active and quiet games and challenges to promote team work. Cubs work towards a structured program of badges and awards designed to reward individual efforts. The Cub Pack is also very active, participating in various competitions including Football and Junk Modelling.

Scout Troop 

Boys and girls aged 10 - 14 years

Monday 7.45 and 9.15pm

Leader: Martin Butcher 

Scouts take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme, from archery to expeditions. There are many awards that Scouts can work towards, completing Challenges to get the Chief Scout’s Gold Award. However, taking part and having fun is just as important as what you achieve as a Scout.

The weekly meetings are designed to offer a balanced programme of activities which encourages Scouts to find out about the world in which they live, know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and develop their creative talents. Games can be quiet or active and individual or team orientated. Scout badges and awards are aimed slightly higher than the lower sections because of the increase in age. Again, these awards are rewarded by the individual efforts of the young people and the program is based on themes including Community, Outdoors and Leadership.  There are also opportunities to explore their beliefs and attitudes. 

Being outdoors is really important and Scouts love to learn new skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.

Adult Volunteers

Everyone has something to give

You may feel that you have no skills to offer Scouting - but everyone has something to give.  Doing things such as making squash and organising games means the Leader has more time to spend with the young people.

Volunteering in Scouting is fun and rewarding. You will have the chance to learn new skills, rediscover adventure, make new friends, spend more time with your child if they are a Scout and give something back to your community.

If you are interested in joining or volunteering to help in any of the sections, please contact Jamie Wheeler.
