2nd Coningsby and Tattershall Scout Group has three vibrant sections: Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

Including the Leaders we have over 80 members, plus a team of Young Leaders, section assistants and Parent helpers.

We meet up at our newly built Scout hut in Coningsby, which is also used by local guide and rainbow sections.

All sections are open to both boys and girls of all Religious and Cultural backgrounds.

Beavers are our youngest members, and generally meet for an 1½ hours per week. They enjoy all that Scouting has to offer; being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of a Beaver Scout sleepover with their friends. The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old. 

The Cub Pack is the second section of the Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 8 and 10 ½. For Cubs, excitement and adventure are key. Their programme offers a huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; whilst allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities. Cubs are introduced to exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.

The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs. The Scout Section is for young people aged between 10½ and 14 years. Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative.  It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips. Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community based work to planning games and activities for their meetings.

What we’ve been up to…

As well as our weekly meetings and badge work, our Scouts Troop took their adventures outside of the Scout Hut. We attended the international camp, Poacher, at the Lincolnshire showground, Chiller camp in November, and Survival Camp. We visited the Royal International Air Tattoo – and – along with our cubs – took part in the global Jamboree on the Trail (JOTT), an annual day for the World Scout Movement to hike together. Next year, we will be taking the Scouts on a hiking weekend to Snowdon (or, Yr Wyddf) in Wales. 

Our active Cub Pack went camping in April, where we learned new skills such as cooking on an open fine, archery and caving. We’ve visited the local Police Station, and Bomber Command, where we to renewed our promises to the King. As well as taking part on JOTT, we also participated in the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) – talking to Scout brothers and sisters from all over the world on the radio! Our badge work has included learning our knots, first aid, pioneering, climbing and road safety.
