What is the Census?

We can’t do this without our band of amazing adult volunteers – and we need your help now, more than ever.

Our first term of 2019 is almost over, and we’re looking forward to our Spring/Summer programme which starts on April 30th.
March 2019 Survey Results
Getting feedback from our grown-ups is hugely important to us, and we’re happy to share some feedback and insights we gained from our last survey.
Online safety for young people
Staying safe on the internet is always a concern, and one we’ll be helping to address as part of the Digital Citizen and Digital Maker badge programme.
Launching our parent helper rota
We’re going to be trialling a new approach to ensuring our Beavers and Cubs have access to a broader outdoor programme by launching a new Parent Helper Rota at the end of April.

Merry Christmas from Billesley Scouts
We’re grateful for your support throughout 2018, and look forward to seeing you all in the new year on Tuesday 15th January.
Happy 5th birthday to us!
It’s been five years since we opened our doors to our first members, many of whom are still with us, so we thought it was time to celebrate.
