1st Cheddington Scout Group runs a Beaver colony, a Cub pack and a Scout troop. After completing the sections at 1st Cheddington, our members are encouraged to join the nearby Swordfish Explorer Unit.
Who runs the group and the sections?
We have an enthusiastic and dedicated team of adult leaders who organise and run the weekly meetings of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. They also organise such things as activities, sleepovers and camps. The overall running of the group is overseen by the Group Scout Leader (GSL). The sections are managed by the section leaders aided by assistant leaders and section helpers. We are also assisted at our meetings and activities by parents as required.
Our leader team is:
Group Scout Leader Ian Hale
Beaver Scout Leader Tracey Mailes
Assistant Beaver Scout Leader Sheila Currell
Cub Scout Leader Hayden Davies
Assistant Cub Scout Leader Dave Fisher
Scout Leader Keith Malcolm
Assistant Scout Leader Jan Doole
How is the group funded?
All members of the group pay subs three times a year. We also hold regular fundraising and social events including jumble sales and selling burgers at the village annual fireworks. These events are organised by the Group Executive Committee, lead by the Group Chairman.
