The 12th Ashton Scout Group encourage more young people to become Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

The group is also looking for more leaders and supporters to help them.

At the group’s AGM, chair Emily Morris reported everything was going well and treasurer Lynn Egan reported the accounts were up to date. The new group executive was agreed.

Group Scout Leader Phil Rogers said they could do with some more help, but his small team had managed to keep Scouting going in Crowhill, Ashton.

He went on to present badges to Beavers Karter, Emily, Madison, Bobby and Parker, which included animal friend badges, communication badges, teamwork challenge badges and one year joining in badge.

Cubs Elliot M and Elliot W Caitlyn, received their local knowledge badge, disability awareness badge, three year joining in badge and cub teamwork challenge badge.

Scouts Maja and Dylan received between them teamwork challenge, local knowledge badge, a three year joining in badge and a four year joining in badge.

Alan Fish from North Tameside Scouts added he was very proud of 12th Scouts as the Leaders have had a difficult year, but their Scouts have still managed to get lots of badges.
