OUR VALUES >

The Parish values which we as parishioners uphold should be based on the Word of God, the teachings of the Church and our Ampleforth Benedictine heritage. Specifically, we should be a community :

in which prayer and worship are at the centre of our lives,

which is welcoming and open to all,

which is forgiving and is not judgemental

which is open to change, led by the Holy Spirit,

in which we all share responsibility for the mission of the church,

in which we each use our gifts for the benefit of everyone,

in which the spirit and joy of the Good News is visibly present in all our actions,

in which we respect and value each individual,

in which we foster the unity of the Christian churches and the building of good relations with people of other faiths.

The Scout Group is made up of three Sections Beavers, Cubs and Scouts all sections meet at the Scout Hut off Fox Lane. [See Map]

Beavers - Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 6 and 8 years old. They are easily recognised by their distinctive turquoise sweatshirts, Beaver Scouts enjoy making friends, playing games, going on visits and helping others.
They meet together on a Tuesday night from 6:00 till 7:15 pm. In addition to a full weekly programme our Beavers enjoy various outdoor activities at Worden Park, Curden Valley and also take part in Sleepovers at local Scout Indoor Camping facilities.

Cubs - Cub Scouts are aged between 8 and 10½ years old. They wear a Dark Green Sweatshirt. Cubs take part in loads of fun things such as swimming, exploring, computing and collecting.
Our Cubs meet on a Wednesday night from 6:30 till 8:00 pm. As well as enjoying the opportunity to learn basic scout craft on Cub nights Cubs also get to go on trips and days out, to places like the zoo, or a farm and also go camping with the rest of the Group. This will mean you sleeping in a tent and doing loads of outdoor activities.

Scouts - The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. The Scout Troop is the third and final Section in the Scout Group they meet on a Friday night from 7:30 till 9:30 pm.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes

Being outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.
