Scouting in Ford and Etal


Hello and welcome to the Ford and Etal Scouts blog.

This first post is, to a great extent, a test run but we intend to include information for both our current scouting members and anyone else who just has an interest in the group.

1st Ford and Etal Scout group is part of North Northumberland District and consists of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts and has grown considerably over the last two or three years.

We believe this is because we offer fun and exciting outdoor type activities which allows our members to behave like 'proper' kids.

Beavers (for 6 to 8 year olds) runs on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 pm.
Cubs (for 8 to 10 1/2 year olds) runs on Wednesdays from 6.15 to 7.30pm.
Scouts (10 1/2 to 14 year olds) and Explorer Scouts (14 to 18 year olds) run on Thursdays from 6.15 to 7.45pm.

This blog site is mainly concerned with the Scouts and Explorer Scouts. We hope it develops really well and becomes an easy and excellent form of communicating information and news.

The Scout Promise and Law:
