Welcome home to our three Explorer Scouts and Assistant Unit Leader Karen! We can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

After another hectic morning dashing across the city with our kit we have now dropped our bags off and loaded up onto a coach because Unit 55 are on our way to the closing ceremony!!!!!!!

Well that’s the bag drop and security done! Now time to grab a bite to eat and drink whilst we wait for our gate to be confirmed.

And they’re off….this morning members of Wyre Scouts; Explorers Tori, James, Ben & volunteer Karen departed for the World Scout Jamboree. They’ll meet up with 50,000 other Scouts from across the world when they arrive in South Korea! We wish you a safe trip and an amazing time! 🚌 ✈️ ⛺️

Good luck to James, Tory and Ben. Have a great time at the world scout jamboree in South Korea.

We love seeing new members join the adventure! A huge Wyre welcome to our new Squirrels who have been invested tonight at 1st Kirkland & Caterall Scout Group!

Tonight our ADC Beavers made a visit to 2nd Cleveleys Cubs to present a Chief Scout Bronze Award to a young person who has recently moved up to Cubs. The cubs had a fantastic night of crabbing in the lake at Fleetwood.

Another night and another visit to another group with even more Chief Scout Bronze Awards. This time Andrew (ADC Beavers) made a visit to 1st Garstang Beavers to award 3 young people with their CSB badges and certificates. Well Done to the 2 Beavers who where there on the night and he will be revisiting Cubs soon to award the other young person with their awards.

Our ADC Beavers made a visit to a Anchorsholme Beavers to help make and decorate bud houses. After they had finished designing them, they filled them with lots of things to encourage wildlife to live and grow in them, before taking them home to put in their own gardens.

They’re nearly ready to go! Wyre’s three exited Explorer Scouts are at their final training weekend today ahead of travelling to South Korea next month to join the thousands of Scouts at the World Scout Jamboree!

Think big. Dream wild. Act Together.

Our Cubs are having a fantastic day at Wyre Scouts’ Cub Challenge Day!

Our ADC (Beavers) has been out visiting groups again last week. On Friday, he made a special visit to 2nd Cleveleys to present one of the Beavers with a surprise ... his Chief Scout Bronze Award (the top award a Beaver can earn). The Beavers chatted about what they had done over the half term break and enjoyed an evening of games and activities as well as arranging and discussing the "Puddle and Waddle" Camp.
