Some great figures just come through from the census, a massive increase in membership across the group and this does not include CARGO, our affliliated ESU, who themselves have increased by 75%
 
This is all down to the hardwork of every one of our team here at 10th Mansfield, from the section leaders and assistants, to the backroom staff who you may not see, to the occasional volunteers, none of whom get paid but give up their time voluntarily. They have put some brilliant programmes in place matched by commitments from the Trustees to provide funding.
 
If you would like to join this team and get involved message me or grab me for a chat, we can only continue to grow with adult support in various roles.
 
Lastly a big thank you to you parents/carers for supporting your child, for bringing them along every week and encouraging.
 
If you know a girl who would like to join Scouts, but think's its just for boys, then get in touch with us. Scouts is the largest mixed gender youth organisation in the UK. Here at 10th Mansfield we are committed to providing opportunities for all.

Incredibly proud moment today for our group. Nottinghamshire Scouts awarded their annual Oak Awards, and 10th Mansfield Scout Group received the group award for Mansfield District, nominated by our District Lead Volunteer Pete Hawley.
This award is recognition for the incredible work put in by our volunteers, be that our leaders delivering scouting every week, our amazing trustee board, our parents and of course our young members. It also is recognition of the renewed sense of community we have with local area.
Last year we set out our 5 year development plan, and this award is testament to the hard work everyone has contributed. We are way ahead of our initial timescales in nearly all areas, but we won't just sit back, we will keep growing and developing as a group.
Thank you to everyone.

Well we have done it!!!
After lots of hard fundraising over the past few years, we were delighted yesterday when John and Carolyn Radford presented us a cheque from Mansfield Town Football Club for £20,000!! This amazing act of generosity from them means we have now reached our target and can purchase our very own minibus.
When I think back to this time last year and the disappointment of being told we had received a £15k grant from CVS, only to have this cruelly taken away from us three days later, I can only thank the unbelievable efforts and hard work that has made this happen.
Having our own minibus means that we can be flexible in what we can offer our young members, we can go to places that otherwise would be unreachable, and it does more to make Scouting for all our members more financially viable. Not only that, but we can also support people, in our local Pleasley community, particularly those vulnerable and unable to get about.
We have so many people to thank; Mansfield Town Football Club, Masonite, Tesco, Mansfield Building Society, REAL Education,
Pleasley Miners Welfare, The Nags Head Pleasley, Cllr
Sharron Hartshorn, Councillors from Notts County Council and Mansfield District Council, the people of Pleasley for supporting our fundraising efforts.
I would also personally like to thank all those leaders, parents, and young members of 10th Mansfield Scout Group and CARGO Explorer Scout Unit for rattling buckets, manning stalls, pressganging people into parting with their cash. Special mention to Steve Cree and Joyce Cree for their Steps Challenge, Lewis Suzanne Pugh Grandad who has donated regularly, the hard work of our fundraising team of Susan Ambler, Eve Stokes and Maggie Maggie, and to Sarah Bond and Matthew Bond for their work with MTFC in getting the final money we needed.
Thank you everyone, there are not enough words to express my gratitude.
Roger,
Group Scout Leader - 10th Mansfield Scout Group
