There are many ways you can kick-start your adventure, as a young person, parent or adult volunteer. Our volunteers get involved on their terms and not all roles involve working with young people. If you can give a little time (or a lot) to help improve young lives in your community, we’d love to hear from you.
Young people ages 4-13½ will join a Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts section in a Scout group. Explorer Scouts aged young people (13½-18) can join one of our district Explorer units and/or volunteer at a group as a Young Leader. Those between 18-25 can join the District Scout network, or take on an adult volunteer role, with a group, the district or one of our active support units.
There are 15 Groups in Warrington East, located at: Culcheth (Jackson Ave), Culcheth (Methodist Church), Oughtrington, Thelwall, Croft, Gorse Covert, Locking Stumps/Birchwood, St Elphin’s, Pepper Street Lymm, Eagle Brow Lymm, Glazebury, Hollins Green, Grappenhall, Padgate, and Woolston.
All of our Groups host Beavers (6-8 years old), Cubs (8-10½ years old) and Scouts (10½-14 years old). Our newest section, Squirrels (for 4-6 year olds) is still launching with more Groups adding the section as soon as they can find sufficient leaders. Squirrels can be found at the 3rd Warrington East (1st Culcheth), 9th Warrington East (Gorse Covert), 12th Warrington East (1st Birchwood), 13th Warrington East (St Elphin’s Own), 26th Warrington East (2nd Padgate) and 27th Warrington East (Woolston).
There are five Explorer Units 14-18 in the District, hosted at Culcheth, Woolston, Grappenhall Lymm and Oughtrington and we have an active District Network which meets at different locations throughout the distrist based on their programme.
