In the news
Did you see the interview with our Group Scout Leader, Steve Prower in the Midweek news on 7 May? If you missed it we have scanned a version (pdf). Welcome to you if you are visiting our site as a result of this story. We are always looking for more leaders. Use the links on the left of this page to have a look at past events to see the sort of things we do and then click on join us for more information.

Explorers cycle across Britain
During the holidays a group of our Explorer Scouts cycled across Britain from Whitehaven to Wallsend. The challenge goes towards their Chief Scouts Award. See more on the Get Bracknell website.

Sainsbury's Active Kids
Our group is collecting the Sainsbury's active kids vouchers this year. We are joining in across the whole group from Beavers to Scouts and combining the vouchers we collect. We hope that you will support us by bringing in your vouchers - you get 1 for every £10 that you spend in Sainsbury's and they are available in store until 4 June.

Keep your eyes open
As part of the Scouting centenary celebrations the Royal Mint are producing some special 50p coins with the Scout logo on them. There won't be that many about so you'll need to check your change carefully. If you find one then bring it in to show us.

Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell's membership of the "buy.at" network has earned the group over £240 so far. We earn commission on things you buy online if you go through our online shop at http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. For more information please visit our shopping page.

Barry's bus
Barry Smith was Akela at 2nd Bracknell for over 30 years. You can see our tribute to him online. When he died he left the group some money. We have decided that we would use this money to buy a minibus. Barry's programme was always full of trips out with small groups to the seaside and museums so we think he'd approve.
If our group isn't already using it we are happy to hire our minibus to other local Scout or Guide groups. For more information please complete our enquiry form.

Thanks to around 75% of the group that have registered their Subs payments for Gift Aid we claimed £1146 in 2007. 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
We are always pleased to receive offers of adult support - whether on a regular or occasional basis. If you would like to help please contact your leaders or see our "Join Us" page. 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.

Getting in touch
We've made it easier for you to remember the e-mail addresses of the leaders. We hope that the 2ndbracknell.co.uk web address is straightforward and easy to remember. You can e-mail the leaders @ 2ndbracknell.co.uk rather than having to remember their complicated addresses. If you can't remember the correct address you can go to our Contact us page and send us a message via our enquiry form.
