2012 Spring Programme

Welcome to 1st Whittingham Baden-Powell Scout Group!

1st Whittingham BP Scouts proudly welcomed Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to Whittingham last term, as we launched our environmental expedition to his country, where we will be planting trees in the mountains to help with the problems of deforestation. The trees will help bind the soil to prevent further soil erosion, provide fruit, and also provide fire wood. We also hope to help provide efficient, clean-burning stoves to prevent further smoke-related illnesses that the people suffer from due to their current smoke-filled homes. If you would like to help with our fundraising, please click here to donate, with everyclick.

Congratulations to Elsa, Thomas, Edward, Peter and Angus for completing their Duke of Edinburgh Canoe Expedition, canoeing from Kelso to Berwick over two days.

We are members of the Baden-Powell Scout Association. We love the outdoors, and sharing the beauty of our world with each other. We run a traditional scouting programme for everyone 5 years and over, and work closely with our community and scouts throughout Northumbria. Have a look at our active programme below, and find out more about the sections using the links to the left.

Remember, you only get one life - live it to the full!

Outdoor meetings require outdoor clothing - we meet whatever the weather! Waterproof jackets/trousers, sturdy shoes or boots, hats, gloves, warm jumpers! Torches for meetings after dark. Try Blacks on the easyfundraising website, which gives us a 4% donation. Order uniform from Ninette.

Thanks to Awards for All for our grant of nearly £10,000 which paid for most of our camping, climbing and mountaineering equipment, as well as our folding tables which are available to all in Whittingham Memorial Institute.
