This year the Scout Association hosted an Island-wide Scout event whereby 44 Scouts opted to walk along the coastal paths of the Island. The walk began on the west coast at Sunset and took the Scouts around the north of the Island to the east coast to watch the sunrise.

The Scouts are working towards completing their Emergency Aid Stage 2 badge and were fortunate enough to have tuition from John of firstaid.gg tonight at the hut.

This week we swapped our uniform for dirty clothes, welly boots, sponges and soapy water.

We were approached by the Airport to hold a car wash in part of the Airport car park so that neighbouring houses to the airport could get their cars washed courtesy of the Airport, as a gesture of good will for putting up with all of the dirt made by the upgrade of the Airport.

We also took the opportunity to advertise the event island wide to raise additional funds and the hard work of our young people definitely paid off  with over 50 cars washed. 

Massive well done team!

The Everest Challenge is an annual fundraising event that is put on by one of the local schools, Le Murier School and aims to raise money for the school’s residential education programme.


The challenge is designed around the 8,848 metres heigh of the Himalayan Peak and involves sponsored teams of 6–8 people climbing for an hour, with each team aiming to complete a minimum of 15 ascents of our climbing wall, i.e. 100 metres.

It's a brilliant opportunity to give back to the community as well as taking advantage of using the climbing wall, which our young people loved!
