Fantastic to see our new Squirrel Drey leading the Scout Group down Ware High Street during the first St George’s Day Parade in 3 years!

A huge turnout from our boys and girls and all the other Scout and Guiding groups - and so many familes and friends. #StGeorgesDay2022

Thanks to @maltings_centre for letting us use your brilliant boardroom facilities.

Our charity trustees were excited to be moving with the times by holding our first hybrid meeting last night - a mixture of face to face and Zoom to cater for everyone's needs. There was a real buzz in the room with most of us face to face after 20 months of online only meetings.

Young people lost out on so much in the past year and many were unable to continue @scouts. The good news is they’re returning in droves, but we need more volunteers. So join us as volunteering is good for communities, good for young people and #goodforyou

"St. George's Day is April 23, and on that day, Scouts remind themselves of their Promise and Scout Law. Not that a Scout ever forgets either but, on St. George's Day, they make a special point of thinking about them." - Robert Baden-Powell, Founder of the Scouts

[1st Stanstead Abbotts & St Margaret’s Scout Group @1stSAScoutGroup]

Happy St George's Day! Did you know St George is the Patron Saint of Scouts?

With #worldbookday on Thursday, we’d love to know the books that you and you children love and bring out their, and your, love and sense of adventure? We want to hear from all our friends and volunteers too! #skillsforlife

[1st Stanstead Abbotts & St Margaret’s Scout Group @1stSAScoutGroup]

As Scout across the world celebrate Founder's Day (Baden Powell's birthday), we'd like to say a huge THANK YOU ☺️ to all our amazing volunteers who've kept Scouting going over the past year. Here's a video 'Thank you' from Tim Kidd, UK Chief Commissioner https://t.co/6y4qSHT6Jl

[1st Stanstead Abbotts & St Margaret’s Scout Group @1stSAScoutGroup]

Thank you ☺️ to the parents who've helped us support young people with activities over the past year: for helping them with Zoom, for letting them make a mess in your kitchen, for building dens under your dinning room table and for clearing up the mess after those craft sessions!

In preparation for #SaferInternetDay our Scouts discussed some of the ways to stay safe online and the minimum ages for some of the most popular social media channels last week. A few surprises for some but great to hear them showing their awareness of possible risks and dangers

[1st Stanstead Abbotts & St Margaret’s Scout Group @1stSAScoutGroup]

Here's what some of our Scouts cooked during their online "Ready, Steady, Cook!" session this week. Some really delicious looking and creative bakes and dishes. Fantastic to see them showing off their many cooking #SkillsForLife Many thanks to all the parents who made it possible
