Story

1st Linslade is a well known Scout Group in Leighton Buzzard. We are also one of the biggest Scout Groups in Leighton Buzzard as all of our secrions offer 2 nights for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Each section offers a wide programme that teaches young children about many life skills and gives them memories for life. We also have an explorer unit attached to our Group where young adults go to complete their extra activities such as DofE and young leader training.

Over lockdown we have unfortunately lost time and although as a group we had online sessions to keep our young children motivated, they didnt get to experience our usual activities that we love in Scouting such as camps, campfires, canoeing, archery, cooking on fires and many more exicitng activities. Now we are back we want to continue to give the children these fantastic opportunities that they have all missed. Please help us to provide these children with these memorial life experiences!

We are also looking to celebrate 100 years of 1st Linslade Scout Group and need your help in funding a excellent celebration of 100 years that will be memorable for all sections and all our excellent leaders.

Any donations wil be throughly welcomed by all our volunteer leaders! Thank you!
