Farewell Mildred
It is with a heavy heart that the group has sold our beloved Bedford coach, Mildred. After several turbulent years, the group has to continually adapt in order to keep providing excellent scouting opportunities for our children. Mildred has been a massive part of that mission over the years, allowing our sections to travel whenever and wherever they desire. She has taken us to many wonderful places within the UK and travelling multiple times through the country roads of France. We will never forget the people we have met along the way and the positive contribution Mildred has played to so many in our group.
However, a consolation is that we have been able to sell Mildred rather than scrap her. Relatives of an old Scout Master with our Group own a farm in Devon and the family have taken on Mildred to do up and present at local vehicle fairs and events alongside other their Green Goddess Fire Engine and AEC Green Line bus (which family does not have one of those?!). The farmer and his family have hosted our Scout Summer Camp many times, and we look forward to seeing Mildred the next time we camp there. In the past, they have allowed the Scouts to drive the Green Goddess Fire Engine around a field!
For now, it is farewell Mildred, but we will see you again!

One of the greatest assets of our group is that most of our current leaders were also once our beavers! This weekend was an excellent training experience for our new leaders and comprised many of the basic scouting skills. To see our young leaders develop and build the foundation for the next generation is truly exhilarating. Well done to all involved for such a wonderful time in the Forest of Dean.

A small selection of our leaders paid for themselves to attend the WFIS general assembly because of our group currently lacking the funds to cover the costs. They flew to Portugal to accept our invitation to become full members after successfully completing our probationary period. Our group now joins over 150 affiliated groups in 65 countries, combining to make a staggering 7 million individuals.
Richard, our GSM, commented, ‘I am pleased to advise that our Scout Group was accepted as a full member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS) at their General Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal on last Saturday. The acceptance vote was unanimous, and our three young leaders were greeted with a standing ovation when we were invited into the meeting. There were some 150 Scouts there from many countries and the majority were young leaders!’
Through our membership we can now network with Scouters around the globe.

We need your help!
EVERYONE PLEASE READ!
Whether you are a past or present member, we desperately need your help.
As many of you are aware, we need a new scout hut. Our current hut was a temporary building with an end of life around the late 90s. We have kept it serviceable until now, but we are losing the battle. All the grants we are applying for require us to submit a large amount of evidence about how we serve the community. With a new hut, we would also be keen on expanding our home to other community users and charities. We already have several interested parties.
BUT WE NEED YOU!
Anyone who was in our group as a child, helped us as a leader, had children in our sections, is currently a member, or just assisted in any other way. We would be most grateful if you could please write a letter of support (doesn’t have to be long), stating how you believe our group has helped you or your family. Think of this as a simple testimony of your experiences with us. That is all we ask!
You can send your letter of support via email to:
Or fill in our contact form.
THANK YOU!
