Kings Langley Scouts have been a staple in the village since 1909, but now face closure as they need more adults to supervise their activities.
The group offers exciting and varied activities and opportunities for young people aged six to 14 and is run almost entirely by volunteers.
Recently, local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from various troops gathered for an exhilarating activity day on Sunday, July 13.
Children from Kings Langley, 1st Apsley, 4th Hemel, 1st Bovingdon, 1st Bennett End, and 16th Watford South Scout groups united for a day brimming with excitement, camaraderie, and outdoor challenges.
The event was planned by the dedicated leaders of 1st Apsley and 4th Hemel and hosted at 1st Apsley Scouts headquarters.
Approximately 150 children joined in with a variety of activities, from archery to water sports. The group shared that a highlight of the day was the creation of pizza pockets prepared by the young Scouts and cooked on an open fire.
Sadly, fewer children will have the opportunity for events such as these without the help of more volunteers.
Eddie Harrison, from 1st Apsley Scouts, shared: “Without the amazing volunteers who give up their time to help run bases, the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts wouldn’t have these types of opportunities.
“Their dedication and support made this day of adventure and fun possible, creating lasting memories for our young Scouts. If anyone would like to come and sign up to help, please get in touch. Your contribution can make a significant impact on the lives of these young adventurers.”
