The Group

As well as the youth sections (the Beavers, the Cub Scouts and Scouts) and the adult Leaders, there is another very important part of the 1st Pinhoe Scout Group - and that's you, the parents and carers. The Group cannot function without you!

The main areas where your support is needed are:

	Assistance during visits and excursions. The Scout Association is very safety conscious and we like to be sure that we have enough adults to properly supervise the boys when we are away from the Hut. So we usually need at least a couple of volunteers on visits and excursions.
	Fund-raising. It costs about £4,000 a year to maintain the Scout Hut, pay electricity and water bills, insurance, maintain equipment, and so on. If it was not for the enthusiastic team of supporters who raise this money it would have to be added to the Subscriptions. Help is always needed and appreciated at Jumble Sales, the annual Fireworks Party and other events.
	Maintenance and “housekeeping” of the Scout Hut. Everything from cutting the grass to occasional electrical and plumbing work!
	Assistance with instructing boys for an Activity Badge, if you have a skill that you can pass on. And everybody has a skill that they can pass on, whether it is handicraft, cooking, knitting (why not?), or bicycle maintenance.

If you think you can help in any of these areas please speak to any Leader after the Pack Meeting.
