2nd Thornbury Scout Group
2nd Thornbury Scout Group was established in 1972 and meets at Christ the King Church Hall in Thornbury.
We currently have two sections - the Cub Pack for 8 to 10½ year olds and the Scout Troop for 10½ to 14 year olds.
We welcome girls and boys to both our sections and we are happy to take children who are new to scouting. If you would like more information about joining us, please contact Ted Tucker (Cub leader) on 01454 281450 or Steve Bagnall (Scout leader) on 07974 772735.
Cubs
The Cub pack meets from 6:15 to 7:30pm each Wednesday evening. The Cub Pack is run by our Akela, Ted Tucker, supported by two assistants and two Scout Explorer Young Leaders.
During a typical year, the Cubs get the chance to:
- Play games
- Badgework – ie Navigator, Artist, Fitness Challenge
- Activity days at Woodhouse
- Widegames
- Overnight sleepovers
- Longer camps
- District cub activities
- Meet children outside their normal school environment
Scouts
The Scout Troop meets from 7:45 to 9:15pm each Wednesday evening.
The Troop is run by Steve Bagnall, supported by an assistant and two Scout Explorer Young Leaders.
During a typical year, our Scouts enjoy activities such as games, badge work, film nights, backwoods cooking, wide games, as well as approximately four camps per year – three week-end camps, including a District camp and the Malvern Challenge, and a week long camp at the start of the school summer holidays.
We also have regular evening trips to do things such as canoeing, climbing, abseiling, ice skating and dry slope skiing.
Both sections also have a parent rota system – this gives us extra help to do activities in smaller groups and also gives parents a chance to see what we do and how a Pack or Troop meeting is operated.
Our sections are supported by a full and active committee who meet bi-monthly.
Finally, if you have an interest in joining us a regular helper, please contact our sections leaders on the numbers above.
