Give a little time and build Skills for Life.

The Scout Group

The basic unit of organisation is the Scout Group. This is based in a local community and usually consists of Squirrel Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Scouts.

Some Groups are larger or smaller depending on where they are located. One Group may contain one or two Squirrel Scout Dreys, one or two Beaver Scout Colonies, one or two Cub Scout Packs and a Scout Troop. Another may consist only of one section.

A few Groups in a certain locality constitute a Scout District. Several Districts make up a County (or Area in Wales and a Region in Scotland).

All these Scout units (Groups, Districts, Counties/Areas/Regions) are governed by the Policy, Organisation and Rules of The Scout Association, which provides the framework in which all Scout units operate.

Within a Scout Group, there will be several adult leaders, who give their time voluntarily to help the development of young people.

The Group is led by the Group Scout Leader, whose job is to co-ordinate the Group’s activities and to ensure continuity and development.

The GSL at 10th Mansfield Scouts is Roger Ambler.

Volunteer

You don’t need to be Bear Grylls to join us. You don’t need to have been a Scout when you were younger. You don’t even need to know how to put up a tent. Our door is open to people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds, and we’re only able to change lives because people like you lend a hand.

There are lots of ways you can get involved, from helping occasionally on a parent rota or volunteering your time as a leader to supporting local Scouting. Our volunteering opportunities are as varied as you! Because no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.

Whatever your skillset, lend a hand for as little or as much time as you can spare, and we promise you’ll get more out than you put in. As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. If you are aged between 14 and 18, there is the option of becoming a Young Leader.

Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is.

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.
