           9th Lewisham North Scout Group:


          All three sections of the 9th Lewisham North Scout Group meet at St Mildred’s Church.   Each section has a team of dedicated leaders with one person taking responsibility for the overall running of the section.

          The Beaver programme concentrates on fun and games, making things and getting out and about. The Cub programme includes working for badges, sports, activities and camping amongst many other things. The Scout section programme includes competitions and sports, working towards awards, water activities and the highlight, camping and nights away. 


          In the 9th Lewisham North, Scouting is not only about the activities mentioned above, but also about working within a group, taking increased responsibility as you get older and most importantly making good friends. 

           
          We are confident our Group has something to special to offer. If you want to find out more, please contact us using the information request form or email: mail@jamiewheeler.co.uk

          Our new ‘SKOWT’ website puts the emphasis on safe and secure communication between Leaders, Members and Parents.

          We are all aware of the potential dangers our youngsters face when communicating online. As Leaders and Parents we want to make sure that young members are protected and that their information can only be seen by the people we want to see it. Our new site features photo sharing, messaging, calendars and document sharing. We will use Skowt to help us reduce costs time spent creating and sending out information to section Members and Parents.
