Scouting for new members
Do you know someone aged between 14 and 17 who would like to try some new activities, make friends and learn new skills?
The Excalibur Explorer Sea Scout Unit based in Lincoln is holding an open day on Saturday October 4 at its camp site on Altham Terrace (LN5 8DN).
The event will run from 10am to 4pm and start with some games and information about Scouting and the type of activities Explorers like to do. This will be followed by cooking and canoeing.
Adult volunteer Jonathan said: “Alongside making new friends, you’ll learn and develop skills, participate in new activities and get the opportunity to do activities that you can’t do at home or at school.
“The Explorers will be very involved in planning the programme and in running some of the activities.
“Scouting provides over 250 activities. These range from abseiling to climbing, cooking to music and pioneering to water activities. You can also learn and develop skills such as communication, independence, leadership, problem solving, social skills and teamwork and these will help with applications for apprenticeships, college, employment and university.”
The unit’s regular meeting times are on Wednesdays from 7.30pm to 9pm.
