Re-printed from The Times Monday April 21st

Scouting is about fun and friendship, about personal development, about learning for Life with a capital 'L'. It's about training young people to maximise what they can get out of life, while adopting an ethical code which awakens their interest and responsibility towards the Community and its Environment at Home and Abroad.

It is about learning new skills, pride in achievement, and self confidence

Scouting is for all boys and girls from age 6 to 25. Join in the fun, go to Sections on the left, and there is an enrolment form in each section according to age. There is a form for helpers too - could you join in the fun as a helper ? - all training provided.

Vacancy for new District Commissioner for Stone

Could you support and inspire nearly 350 young people? Would you enjoy sitting round a campfire as well as developing strategy? Staffordshire Scouts are looking for a volunteer with management experience who wants to do more in their community, with good inter-personal skills and the ability to motivate and inspire others. Who are we? Stone and District Scouts offer a vibrant, exciting and adventurous programme for young people aged 6-25 and exciting opportunities (and adventure) for adults. We have nearly 350 young people supported by over 100 adults involved in local Scout groups across the District. We are continuing to grow and reach out to more young people and adults. We are looking for someone to take forward this success story. Click [ HERE ] for more information.
