A fantastic first evening for our Squirrel Scouts. Lots of exploring, making friends and craft. Thanks to District Lead Volunteer Maddie and Group Chair Carlton for coming and saying hello to our new friends! ⚜️🐿️
Fantastic, well done everyone xx
Tonight at Scouts we had a patrol forum to give the Scouts an opportunity to shape their own programme! They also took part in an obstacle course created and led by their patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders! Chris also enjoyed the obstacle course very much, it's a shame we don't have any photos of that!
After a very successful Squirrels planning meeting earlier in the week, this little chap can’t wait to meet his 12 new friends next week when our Drey has its first session!
We already have 6 brand new adult volunteers on the books who are keen to help and a lot of exciting ideas planned.
A new chapter is about to begin at the 7th Bristol Scout Group…! 🐿️⚜️7️⃣
Good Luck with u well Mike
Many congratulations to Fin our newest member of the Scout team who was invested into the Troop this evening.
Also well done to Alex who was presented with his 5 Year Long Service Award. He’s been such an asset to our group over this time.
Thanks Alex for all you do and welcome to the 7th Bristol Fin!
🎇⚜️5️⃣🎆
Congrats and many thanks Alex from your President Mike Keefe
Congrats both and thank you Alex for the great activities you do with the troop and the work behind the scenes on our trustee board 👏⚜️
The Cubs wish you all a very merry Christmas! Have a great few weeks off and see you back on 9th January 🎄 ⭐️
Happy Christmas Cubs!!
The 7th Bristol are excited to announce that we will be opening up a Squirrel’s Drey in January 2025. This new(ish) section in Scouting for young people aged 4-6 is sure to be an exciting addition to our Scout Group and we look forward to welcoming some new families into our fold. ⚜️ 🐿️
What did you do tonight?
Well, the Beavers at 7th did:
- several games (splatt, ladders and Arguing Snowmen)
- sang Christmas carols to their parents
- drank hot chocolate and ate chocolate and mince pies
- said goodbye to one of our special little Beavers who swam up to become a Cub.
What Beavers has lost, Cubs has gained and I’m sure he’ll have a great time there.
Thanks to Humming Bird, Grizzly, Osprey (TBD 😉), Crazy Chris and all the wonderful parents who support us throughout the year.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night 🎅🎄🌟
Looks like great fun, building friendships and team building!
As we head into the final week of term, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Our group has sailed through yet another successful year and our young people have done us all proud with their many achievements.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the commitment and dedication of all our adult volunteers; whether wearing uniform on the front line, or as Trustees behind the scenes. I owe them all a debt of gratitude for the many hours they put into ensuring our programme is engaging, safe and enjoyable for the children.
I also want to give thanks to our families, those within the community and our followers for supporting our group throughout the year.
2025 I’m sure will prove just as exciting with a brand new section about to open within our group and more young people and their families being welcomed into the family of Scouting here in the 7th Bristol.
However, for now at least, let’s enjoy the final week of term, the beginning of the festive holidays and for many of us a well earned break…
Season’s Greetings to you all and thanks for all the fun.
Group Lead Chris
Merry Christmas Chris and thank you to everyone for such a fantastic term of activities x

What a great job u and team have achieved this year Congratulations to you all and Happy New Year 🥳 from your President and Julia Keefe
"Happy Christmas Chris and everyone at the 7th !!" xx
The Cubs were all bowled over at how much fun we had at Hollywood Bowl! Well done to the Cubs for all having a go and congratulations to Hayden for having the biggest score overall on the evening! 🎳
This week the Scouts learnt about the behind the scenes of play production from Lee and made a start on making their own plays based on fairy tales...
This looks like amazing fun! 🤩
Well done to our Scout Leadership team for giving our Scouts a great experience, despite having to change their programme due to the adverse weather!
It might be closer to home but fun all the same. 👍
Well done everyone 👏
A big thank you to our visitors who came to our HQ tonight to take the Cubs through their Emergency Aid Stage 2 badge. The Cubs enjoyed having a tour of a real ambulance at the end too! ⛑️ 🚑
A big thank you to the Clifton neighbourhood police team who visited beavers this evening! We learnt about their work, their uniforms and equipment, and of course enjoyed a tour of their van! A great way to complete our safety and emergency aid badges.
That sounds great! Could you let us know how to get hold of them so we could arrange a Brownie visit?
Thanks to all those who helped out today. I only had a couple of photos taken, so this isn’t everyone who helped out.
The Guides Bazaar was really great and they were really appreciative of all the help we gave them especially in running the games…
Thanks to everyone who chipped in and lent us their Beavers/Cubs/Scouts for a few hours….😁
An amazing trip to Temple Fire Station where the Cubs learned a lot about fire engines, fire safety and had a go with the hoses!
Thank you to the fire crew who supported the visit, despite it being slightly cut short at the end by a call out! 🔥 🚒
Congratulations to the Cubs who earned their Fire Safety Badges.
Great to see the achievements of Mike, our Group President recognised and published in the Clifton Voice this month…
Congratulations Mr President!
Brilliant to see Thankyou Mike
