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.
