We're really excited to have 3 new groups join the District this year, although it's unfortunate that Ampthill & Woburn District has had to close so suddenly.

Welcome to Flitwick, Harlington and Barton! 

The Swimming Gala returned not once, but twice this year. Held at Inspire Luton, they were both a great success hosting around half the young people in the district. 

Fun was had by all involved and this was the first time in a long time that the whole district came togther for an event like this. 

Thank you to all of the adults and young leaders who made this a success!

JOTA/JOTI was a great event held over the weekend, where the young people were able to communicate with scouts from across the world through chat rooms and radios, and were able to build their own mini morse code machines. 

It was a great opportunity for the young people to work towards their Communication and Science badges and we had around 35 young people that attended from the local area (Icknield, Falkes, Dunstable and Ampthill & Woburn). 

Riparian Explorer Sea Scout Unit ran a number of successful Open Days, with each weekend being attended by approximately 100 young people from across the County. 

These were a fantastic fundraising opportunity for the Explorers and was also a great start to some fresh new-joiner enquiries. 

Well done to the Riparian team and to everyone that helped make these a success. Looking forward to the success of the 2024 dates too!
