1st Chelford Beavers and Cubs were incredibly lucky to have a special guest to help them earn their Cycling Badge and develop their skills, as 6 times Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy came along for the evening. They all had a fantastic time. #cheshire #scouts #skillsforlife

Tuesday evening saw a couple of awards presented at @1stHCscouts AGM. Congratulations to Julie who received her 5yrs Service Award, and Alan who was awarded his Wood Badge as Group Scout Leader. A huge well done to both, and thank you for all your hardwork.

Cubs used all of their stealth tactics to Capture the Flag!

The pack ventured north to Handforth for a fascinating talk on the History of the Manchester to Sandbach railway line, kindly hosted by Friends of Handforth Station #trainsafety #localknowledge

A balmy evening on the Bollin..

Handforth Scout Group had their group camp this weekend. They had a great weekend and were excited to be back camping. DC, Will Burnham, was thrilled to be able to attend and present Service Awards, totalling 55 years, and 3 Wood Badges. A huge well done and thank you to all!

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers who give up so much of their time to give our young people such fantastic scouting experiences! Whatever your role we could not do it without you. Thank you! #ThankYouDay

Love The Lane on Chapel Lane. Liz and Sam are fundraising for Jamboree 2023. They are here 12-5 if you are in Wilmslow pop down and pay them a visit. Selling s’mores kits and paracord goodies.

Derek will always be remembered for his years of dedication and hard work at 5th Wilmslow and more recently in his role as District Chairman which he held for many years before becoming President. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Derek was a much loved and respected member of The Scouts and Alderley District in particular. Derek’s Scouting career spanned his entire life, with him holding Group, District and County roles.

Members of the District were privileged today to be able to provide a Guard of Honour at the funeral of our District President, Derek Wiles, who recently passed away.

Last meeting this half term, cubs hiked down to St. Bartholomew’s Church to practise map plotting before paying their respects #WarGravesWeek @CWGC, then made the most of a quiet park to burn off energy.
