1st Enoder scout group has opened providing a scouting provision for over 50 young people in Indian Queens.
This grant funded project was so successful that all three sections, beavers, cubs and scouts have been started to meet growing demand for Scouting in Cornwall. In the coming months the young people will be taking part in fun activities such as orienteering, pioneer building, night hikes, camp cooking and learning about birds of prey, as well as lots of games.

This would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and commitment of the new volunteers who have offered their time and skills to get involved in the adventure.

Newly appointed Cub Scout leader Dean commented:
“I was very happy to see the large group children return to cubs after Christmas, as I look forward to
our Cub evenings. Volunteering my time makes me have great self‐respect and to be part of a great
team of people, is very exciting!”
One 1st Enoder Beaver Scout said:
‘’The leaders make it lots of fun and I like learning new things and seeing all my friends again after
school”
Vanessa and Rob (Rookie Leaders of 1st St Enoder Beavers and Scouts):
‘’It’s easy to sit back and hope that someone else may volunteer, especially when you are busy
working parents! For us, getting involved with the Scouts is about getting involved with our local
community and making a difference to its young people. Our time is precious as everyone’s is, but our
own children are involved and so we are spending time with them too! It just needed someone to get
the ball rolling, someone to be willing. We have officially become a 50+ group in a matter of months!
As far as we’re concerned, that’s 50 reasons for not sitting back and hoping someone else might
volunteer!’’

The newly appointed leaders have joined the busy Duchess of Cambridge and another 100,000 other adult volunteers that assist throughout the UK, helping out in many ways; teaching new skills, supporting committees and fundraising.
There is something for everyone as a scout volunteer and adults get so much out of their involvement whether that is transferable skills for the workplace, confidence or simply the satisfaction of knowing they are helping their community. All tailored around individuals with a flexible approach and having fun.

Despite our growing numbers Cornwall Scouts are in need of more adult volunteers, with more young people currently waiting to join.
