The Group, based in Ash
Grove, Lichfield, is a thriving Group in the District.
We have over 120 young people who attend and a dedicated
leadership team. The Group has two Beaver Colonies, two
Cub Packs and two Scout Troops. The group is affiliated
to St. Michaels Church but is open to
any Young Person.
7th Lichfield Scout Group is
also a registered charity. Our charity number is
1021870.
Each section leads an active
programme for the Young People who attend, indoors,
outdoors, winter, summer. There is always something
exciting happening at the 7th!

In addition
to the uniformed Leaders, there is a dedicated team of
adults who are responsible for keeping the Group running
through such activities as fund-raising and maintaining the
Group's equipment. The efforts of these people are
co-ordinated by the Group Chairman.

Parental
Responsibilities |
It is hoped that parents will
want to support their child's Scout Group. There are many ways
in which this support can be given:
- Transport
for your child to venues for camps and meetings
- By
supporting the Group's fund raising activities
- Attending
the Group's A.G.M.
- Helping
out on section evenings especially when external
activities are arranged.
One of the ingredients of
a good Scout Group is underlying discipline. All children are
expected to behave well and appropriately. This is essential
and inappropriate behaviour will not be accepted. Generally,
minor incidents will be dealt with by a telling off. More
serious examples, such as bullying, will result in a child's
parents being contacted. These measures may seem obvious,
but we feel it important that all Scouts are aware of what
is expected of them. Sixers and Seconders, Patrol and
Assistant Patrol Leaders in particular will
be asked to set a good example to the younger members of the
group.
Scouting costs money. The
Leaders do their best to offer quality Scouting for the
lowest possible cost. The main source of income for the
Group is the Membership Subscription paid by all members.
Sometimes, we ask for a contribution towards activities
undertaken over and above the 'normal' Pack night events. We
hope parents appreciate the need for us to ask for a little
extra on occasions to help pay for the extensive range of
activities undertaken.
Members of 7th Lichfield
Cubs are expected to take an active role in the activities
of the Pack. The following should be considered the minimum
commitment from a Cub Scout:
- Attend all meetings unless ill or away.
- Take part in St George's Day Parade in April.
- Attend camps wherever possible.
|
Scouting is for all children, regardless of their
background. Financial help is available to allow
Scouts to attend camps who would otherwise be unable
to take part. Please contact a leader in the strictest
of confidence if we can offer help in any way.
