61st Cardiff

Wanted: Everyday heroes in the Cyncoed/Roath Park area! We’ve already got a Chief Scout, Bear Grylls, and he’s brilliant. What we need now are smilers and inspirers and activity planners - all round team players to support our young people. 👇TAP below to read about our roles👇

At the start of this year our new Squirrel Drey had its first ever session 🐿️ It’s a new adventure for us all, but every week our amazing young people are bringing 110%! Thank you to all the parents and leaders who are supporting their journey 👏👏👏

We’re brining the BBQ to the celebrations at Park End Church today! Pop on down from 10am. Plenty of shelter from the wind, live music and hot food & drinks.

Our Scouts got creative this week with a Ghost Pumpkin carving competition! There was a great collection! #Teamwork #SkillsForLife

Our Beavers had such a great African Drumming session this week. They really got into the spirit of it!

Don’t worry - he’s ok! This week the Scouts took a look at some basic first aid skills that could help save a life! #SkillsForLife

This week the Cubs put their environmental knowledge to the test! They’ve also began some home projects to try and help their house be more green! #SkillsForLife

This summer our Scout section joined up with Food For Life Wales to help make food for those in need. This week Cardiff and Vale Scout Area have recognised their hard work with a pathway award! Well done to all our Scouts who gave their time and efforts!

We’re currently looking for an Assistant Adult Leader to join our Beaver team. If you could help provide experiences like this then please get in touch!

This is what adventure tastes like! Our Beavers have been out learning safe practices around fires - and what better to test out their skills than marshmallows! #SkillsForLife

Over the summer our Scouts are joining the charity Food for Life Wales in the kitchen to pack freshly made meals to be delivered to those in need. We’re helping out once a week and the Scouts are learning all about the less fortunate and how we can all help them.

Bug Vegas: Week 3 Our Cubs’ specially constructed bug hotel is into its third week and woodlouse are the big winners in the habitat!

They’ll always remember that one time we did parachute games in the hammering summer rain…

Last week our Beavers got to exploring around the park! From the brooks to dens in the woods, we’ve been there!

🐞BUG VEGAS UPDATE🐛 The Cubs made their bug hotel 2 weeks ago now, and already it’s got over 20 woodlouse, 1 large slug, some spiders and other wriggley things!

This week our Cubs did more work on their gardening 👩‍🌾 badge! Introducing their bug hotel, aka, 🐛 BUG VEGAS 🐞 Now we have to wait and see how many residents move in!

Our Scout Troop started work on the scientist badge this week with a classic experiment. There’s lots to think about on this one so they’ll be doing more experiments next week too! #SkillsForLife

@CardiffValeArea As a group we’re proud of our minimal food waste policy 😉😆

I wonder how many marshmallows got eaten?

“From humble beginnings ➡️ come great things!” Our Cubs got stuck in with pioneering in the park this week, and we think we might have some budding engineers in our Pack! #SkillsForLife

This week we welcomed in a few new members to our Beaver colony! It’s amazing to see all our sections brimming again! Our sections might be full but we could always use a new helper, just for the little things. Is that you? Give us a message because volunteering is #GoodForYou!

As a well known supermarket says "every little helps". We are looking for adult volunteers to fill a variety of roles from helping with running our sections to grass cutting and the odd maintenance work. Why not get in touch to see how Scouting can be #GoodForYou
