At 2nd Bracknell Scout Group we have been providing quality Scouting to the boys of Bullbrook and North Bracknell for over 30 years. Now we have opened our doors to girls too. We currently have around 100 members aged between 6 and 14 who meet at our purpose-built hall in Bullbrook. All of our leaders are volunteers and give their time freely to make sure that the group delivers the balanced programme. Our enthusiastic leadership team is supported behind the scenes by our Group Executive Committee who look after the hall and raise the money we need to keep the group running. From 6 to 66 years old there is something for you at 2nd Bracknell.

If you'd like to know more or have a question about our group or website please complete our enquiry form. If you are outside our area (mainly Bullbrook, North Bracknell, Martin's Heron) and want to join your local group then you can use the Scoutbase enquiry form to get a local contact in your area.

If you'd like to advertise 2nd Bracknell and help us attract new members you can use one of our "It's what we do" posters - links on the left of the page.

In the older age group we have Scout Network for the 18-25's. This section is not group based and so we do not have them at 2nd Bracknell. You can find out more information by contacting our District Commissioner.

The young people wouldn't be able to enjoy Scouting without some adult help but there is more to Scouting than becoming a uniformed leader. It all depends how much time you can spare.

Here are some opportunities that you may like to consider - listed by the amount of time you can spare:

• One or two Monday evenings (7.30-9pm) per term
• A few Wednesday or Friday evenings (6-7pm) per term
• A few Tuesday or Thursday evenings (6.30-8pm) per term
• One Monday evening (8-10pm) per month - normally the first Monday
• Most Wednesday or Friday evenings (6-7pm) per term
• Most Tuesday or Thursday evenings (6.30-8pm) per term
• Every Wednesday or Friday evening (6-7pm) plus some weekends and other nights
• Every Tuesday or Thursday evening (6.30-8pm) plus some weekends and other nights

Please note that all adults that are in contact with the children in our care have to complete a CRB check. The leaders can tell you more about what this involves or you can contact our District Commissioner.

Opportunities for Adults

Scout Shop Assistant: If you can spare the odd Monday evening then Margaret Kemp at the Scout Shop would be delighted to hear from you. The shop is at Cooper's Hill and opens from 7.30 to 9pm. Each group is asked to provide helpers on a rota basis so that most people have to do just one or two weeks per term. Training will be given and you will get a free cup of tea or coffee. For more information please contact Margaret Kemp via our enquiry form.

Beaver Scout Occasional Helper: Our Beaver Scout colonies are always grateful of a bit of extra help. Although parents are always welcome we find that the real benefits occur when we get people who can help regularly - even if this is just a few times each term. They get to know the way we work and what is expected from them. See our Beaver Scouts page for contact information. Remember that you don't have to be a Beaver Scout parent to be a helper.

Cub Scout Occasional Helper: Our Cub Scout packs are always grateful of a bit of extra help.

Group Exec - team member: We're looking for interested adults to join our Group Executive committee which looks after the hall and the finances of the group. You'd be able to attend the Group Exec meetings that take place on the first Monday of each month at 8pm.

For more information please contact our Group Chairman - Dale Kipp.
