Welcoming a new Scout is important, so we would like to celebrate this with a great investiture.

We are grateful to have the opportunity again to meet face-to-face and we have managed to make a great start this new season. Now we would like all the new Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to become part of the Scout family. To become a member of the Scout Association and our group you will be asked to make a promise at the investiture ceremony. Please see our Investiture Information Page for more information.

On Wednesday October 13th we will join all together at the church, and if the weather is good will have this celebration outside. The ceremony will take place around 19:00 and we would like to welcome all parents/carers to join us. Details will follow closer to the date.

To be invested you will need to have a uniform, we will provide you with a necker and the Region, District and unit badges.

Uniforms can be purchased from a couple of places:

1. Via the official Scoutshop
2. Via one of our suppliers: Monkhouse, OneStopScouting or Amazon

Summer is here and we are going to take a break. If all goes to plan we will be meeting again in September.

We have been fortunate that our Scouts have been able to enjoy an almost normal program throughout the year, and we can’t wait to meet up again with our Beavers and Cubs.

Now it is time to enjoy the sunshine and have an excellent summer. We are looking forward to see you all again in September!!

Have Fun.

It doesn’t look like COVID-19 is going anywhere anytime soon, and the threat of holiday get togethers being canceled like everything else is becoming very real. But as the year is winding down, it seems like there is nowhere to go but up. Please remember all the things we have collectively overcome this year and send wishes for a better 2021.

Throughout the year we have been involved in a wide variety of activities, even though most of these have taken place via Zoom. There have been an incredible amount of badges earned whilst working on them at home, and we are very proud of each and every one who achieved their goals.

We have no clear idea of when we are able to meet face-to-face again in the new year, but we will do our best to create a programme that can at least be done from wherever you might be. The year ahead will be challenging, but we will get through this.

From all of us here at 78th Kingswood Scout Group, see you next year!

Following the announcement of a four-week lockdown in England from Thursday 5 November, the National Youth Agency (NYA) has now issued guidance about what this means for all youth sector activity. From tomorrow, Scouts and all other youth activities will move to Red readiness level.

This decision by the Government means that there can be no face-to-face activity with young people or adult volunteers.

We expect these restrictions to last until 2 December, when the lockdown is currently scheduled to end in England.

You can keep an eye on the readiness levels on the Scouts UK website.
