Scouting is a busy activity. We meet almost every week – only those which are over public or school holidays are clear of Scouting activities and events! Each section has a programme and can be seen on Online Scout manager for each section.
However, there are also lots of other events that we do – such as competitions, camps, day trips, fundraising, and adult training.
Follow US on social media
Each section has there own private Facebook group to share announcements and photos from the many Scouting adventures. To keep up to date with group why not like our Facebook page. Or have a look at what the rest of St Helens Scouts are up to on our District website https://www.sthelensscouts.org.uk/
