Getting in touch
Most of our leaders have easy to remember e-mail addresses that are in the format firstname.surname@2ndbracknell.co.uk. The exceptions are the Beaver and Cub leaders who use their colony name or pack name instead.

Badge Requirements
We don't publish the requirements for badges on our site. To ensure that you are looking at the latest information follow the link to Badges & Awards and find the badge on Scoutbase. You can also find information about where the badges go on your uniform.

Scout Shop
If you need uniform then the Scout Shop is the place to go. The
Scout Shop page has more details and includes a map showing how to get there.

Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell has joined the "buy.at" network which means that we earn commission on things you buy online if you go through our online shop at http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. You'll find over 80 retailers there including M&S, Expedia, play.com, Amazon, HMV, John Lewis and Waterstones. You pay the normal online price which is generally less than on the High Street so you can raise money for us and still save money. See our fund raising page for more information.


Thanks to around 80% of the group that have registered their Subs payments for Gift Aid we claimed £1353 in 2006
. That's the equivalent of 2 Christmas Fairs, 5 sponsored walks or 10 jumble sales. It's easy money for us so if you haven't registered for Gift Aid - or would like to check whether you have or not, please see the Gift Aid e-note or contact our Treasurer.

Join Us

You can get involved at whatever level you want - from one night a term to becoming a uniformed leader and helping every week. We also have vacancies behind the scenes on our Group Executive Committee.
