Huge thank you to our amazing volunteering scouting leaders after this weekend’s trip to 💙

The children had the BEST time — so much laughter, new challenges, and loads of confidence built along the way. Memories made that will last forever!

None of this happens without our brilliant volunteers… and we need more!

Shifnal Beavers were delighted to be invited back for their Easter egg hunt, thanks to the kind hospitality of Mr and Mrs Cook at their lovely field 🌿

The hunt was a huge success, with an impressive 256 eggs found—clearly no egg was safe from our Beavers! 🐣🍫

We also said a fond farewell to four of our Beavers, who will be moving up to Cubs after Easter—good luck on your next adventure! 🦫➡️🐺

After all the rain over the last few days, it turned into more of a mud hunt than an egg hunt… but muddy boots, big smiles, and chocolate eggs at the end made it all worthwhile! 🌧️🥴

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter from all our Beaver leaders and Young Leaders

Our Squirrel Scouts were so excited to return to the Millennium gardens at St Andrews church —a place we all love so much 🌿

They spent time refurbishing their bug house and even added a special plaque to celebrate its restoration 🐞

The Squirrels had a fantastic time exploring the winding pathways (like a maze!) while searching for their Easter eggs 🐣

We also celebrated the end of term by presenting badges, including three Gold Acorn Awards to our oldest Squirrels, who will soon be moving up to Beavers—well done all! 👏

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter from all of us Squirrel leaders 💛

Shifnal Squirrel Scouts had an amazing time visiting our local fire station at Stafford Park this week! 🚒

The fire crew took the time to explain all about the fire service and reinforced how important it is to only dial 999 in a real emergency. They also shared valuable advice on how we can all stay safe around fires.

The children were then shown how firefighters respond to an alarm — including the quickest way down the pole — before getting to explore the highlight of the visit: the fire engine and, of course, the hose! 🔥

A huge thank you to the fantastic team at Telford Fire Station for taking the time to host our Squirrels. It was a brilliant and memorable experience for everyone involved!

We’re now four weeks away from the Chase Walk, and our leaders are training hard for the 38‑mile challenge. Thanks to your support, we’ve reached £476 - nearly halfway to our £1,000 target.

This week we’ve shared an important email update with all parents and carers about how our Scout Group is funded. Many people don’t realise that termly subs only cover the basics needed to run weekly meetings. All of our equipment, activity sets, repairs, replacements and resources rely entirely on fundraising and donations.

Please check your emails for the full details - and if you can, help us keep the momentum going by donating or sharing our fundraising page:

Thursday Beavers had a fabulous opportunity to visit our local historic Fire Station Museum this week. 🚒🔥

It was a great experience for all the Beavers, along with supporting parents and leaders. The volunteering team were fantastic — very welcoming, knowledgeable and informative.

The Beavers asked lots of questions and learned so many new things about the history of our town. The most discussed topic was definitely the Great Fire of Shifnal!

A huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers who hosted us. 👏😊

What a brilliant session our Squirrels had this week before breaking up for half term!

They decorated (and ate!) pancakes, made wonderful Valentine’s cards to take home, and designed and decorated their heart-shaped biscuits. 🍓🥞💌🍪

A huge thank you to our parent helpers and all our fantastic Squirrel leaders for the time, effort and dedication you put into every session, helping the young people of Shifnal enjoy such fun and memorable experiences.

Beavers did pancakes a week early. Great nice flipping pancakes, learning about food safety and facts about pancakes (such as the 15 metre pancake made in Manchester in 1994!)
