Welcome to our news page. The place to find out what we have been up to.  

Clive Gritten MBE We are very pleased to announce that Clive Gritten, one of the Group's very long term supporters and one of our Trustees has been awarded the MBE. The award was given for services to children and young people in the community. Clive has had many different roles in Scouting both at Group and District level and the award represents a lifetime of service in the best Scouting tradition. Clive is also the holder of the Silver Wolf, Scouting's highest award for service. Congratulations Clive from all of us.

Things Scouts do on dark winter nights

The Scouts are always up for a challenge or just maybe something fun but a bit daft. Here are some pictures:

Nearly done	Will it take the weight?

Now for a completely new sport:

Here we see the Scouts trying their hand  at Mouse Trap Fishing. If the trap snaps  on the rod, you can reel it in.

The Cubs "Cardboard City" Sleepover

There are all sorts of ways to go camping. In the winter, it is nice to camp indoors, but why not make it just a bit different. Here we see the Cubs in action making their own sleeping areas out of cardboard.


We are climbing at last

After what seems like a mountain of inspections and paperwork, the climbing wall is ready for use. Here we see the Cubs in action.

Christingle Service 2025 The 2025 Christingle Service will be held in Wroxham Church on Monday 15th December at 5.30pm. Rev Liz Jump will be presiding. This is always a fun and magic Christmas event and everyone is invited.

Mike Clemence Sadly, we have to report the death of Mike Clemence. Mike was one of the executive committee members when our first Nobel Crescent HQ was built, and he was at the opening ceremony of the new one last November. Thank you to a great supporter of the Group.

The Cubs take part in: This event took place in Norwich and involves a safari looking for some very special wild animals. All are decorated in unusual ways and they are scattered across the city. As you can see, the Cubs found lots of them. Here are some pictures of the Cubs out on the Safari trail.

Angela Stevenson It is with great sadness that the Group has learned of the death of Angela Stevenson. Angela was one of our Beaver Leaders for many years and also supported the Group in so many other ways. She was a regular attender at camps and sleepovers and she was always on hand to help with fund raising especially jumble sales. Angela now joins the list of people who can no longer sit round the camp fire with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

The Group is awarded a grant for new Archery Equipment


We are very pleased to announce that the Group has received a grant of £1353.00 from The Shelroy Trust Fund supported by Norfolk Community Foundation.

The money will allow the Group to purchase new archery equipment for the young people to use. This activity supports health and well being and it is also a lot of fun to do. The new equipment replaces old and worn out bows and arrows and will be in use this summer at camps and other activities both at our new HQ and elsewhere.

The young people and the archery instructors thank the Shelroy Trust for this generous donation which will support present and future generations of young people in the area.

Thank you Bure Valley Rotary

We would like to thank the Bure Valley Rotary Group for their generous donation to Group Funds. This will be used to improve the landscaping in the area near the Annexe and to provide facilities for young people to grow plants and to work on their gardening badges.


Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day

On Pancake Day we all made pancakes

First you have to mix them	It is very easy to make a mess
Then you fry them	A perfect job done

Cubs in Action


Opening Ceremony of our new HQ

The opening ceremony took place on 30th of November 2024 when a crowd of young people, parents, friends and supporters of our Group gathered in the new building. It was an all day event with Scouting activities to join in and enjoy as well as speeches, thanks and the unveiling of a new plaque.

This new building was built to the specifications asked for by the young members of our Group and so it was only fitting that they should also be the ones to unveil the plaque and declare the building open.

It was a very special day for our Group and the culmination of two years of hard work. It was also great fun to meet up with so many Group supporters and to be able to give out thanks badges to those who had helped to make this possible.

Here are some pictures:

18th November 2024. We have moved back to our HQ in Wroxham

The building work is completed and the Group has moved back to our fantastic new building in Wroxham. Thank you to the Barton Turf Adventure Centre which has been our temporary home for the last year.

The moving in process is far from complete yet but everyone has enjoyed looking round the new building and seeing what it can do.

The Cubs are back and they think it is great.

The Scouts try out the electric loft ladder.

We now have a separate news page where you can follow the story of the building work on our new HQ building from beginning to end. Just Click Here to take a look.
