Scouts
Thanks for the use of the old library!
We’d like to start by thanking Kibworth Beauchamp Parish Council who have allowed our Scout Group to use the old library building by the village roundabout. Whilst we have loved using the Scouts Land this year, the weather is now making it too much of a challenge to be there every week and the use of the old library building provides our young people with a safe space to meet for weekly meetings.
Cubs member Molly told us “I like being outside at the land as it’s really fun, but not so much in the cold rain. I’m really excited about being at the library building as we can do lots more activities.”
We love how popular all our Scout sections are with the local community, however with such fame comes challenges. At the moment we are struggling with recruiting enough volunteers to be able to offer everything we’d like.
Volunteer Support needed…
In particular we are looking for Team Leaders to come on board and help us with the running of our weekly meetings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. You don’t have to be a parent of a scout group member to volunteer. This is a wonderful opportunity to help young people create memories, learn new skills, develop friendships and create a community.
Behind the scenes we are also in need of Trustees to join our Trustee Board. Trustees look after our charity and are crucial to keep the wheels turning. A great number of skills or opinions are needed to bring in fresh ideas and help with problem solving. This is a great opportunity to help with Scouts without the commitment of attending regular sessions and can fit around your work schedule. Our Annual General Meeting is being held on Thursday 27 November, so if you would like to know more about Trustee roles, please contact us at join@1stkibworth.org.uk.
