Due to the increased interest in Scouts (boys and girls aged 10 to 14), a new section has launched at 4th Cleethorpes Scouts. Through the support of people within the local community who wanted to share their skills and love of adventure more young people in the area can access the fun and develop skills for life.
Since opening, the Scouts have been learning circus skills and finished off with a celebration of this by visiting a real circus.
The Scouts are always busy learning new things like morse code through activities across the Humber, heading out on an ice-skating trip, kayaking and a visit to Ghetto Skate Park with lots more in the (half) pipeline.
Kelsey, a Scout from the group, said: “I like making new friends and doing new activities. I’m not even joking, you should join 4th Clee Scouts!”
In a recent poll 94% of Scouts said they had developed useful skills. Scouts offers over 200 activities from abseiling and coding to drama and water-zorbing.
Chief Scout, Bear Grylls said: “I’m so excited to see the positive impact 4th Cleethorpes Scouts will be making in the community. But this has only happened because of the hard work and dedication of an amazing team.
“Scouts relies on the kindness and commitment of our adult volunteers. They give as much or as little time as they can spare, and they get out more than they put in – new skills, new friends and the reward of seeing young people grow into fantastic members of their community.”
The doors are open – the group would love to welcome more people to join. For further information about 4th Cleethorpes Scouts or to try it for yourself, please contact Michelle on dc@gycscouts.org.uk
4th Cleethorpes Scouts meet at Albert Road, Cleethorpes, DN35 8LX on Thursdays 19:00-20:30.
