STROUD Valley Scout Group - Beaver, Cub and Scout sections - are going from strength to strength, due to the hard work and commitment of leaders and their assistants.

The sections meet on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, at the Scouting Centre in Chapel Street, and provide activities for boys and girls aged six to 14 years old.

This year, they have a waiting list of boys and girls wanting to join, but to support this and to keep things running they need to recruit more adults to volunteer.

As it's voluntary there is no pay, but the reward is in helping to develop scouting skills and values in all the children that attend and the fun that involves.

The Group are looking for:

• Young leaders aged 14 or over for Beavers and 16 or over for Scouts

• Assistants for all sections - you need to be aged 18 or over

• Leaders to run a section - you have to be over 21

If you or someone you know might be interested in volunteering please contact:
