The 7th Lichfield Scout Group is pleased to announce the purchase of a portable defibrillator at their Scout Hut in Ash Grove, made possible through a successful fundraising effort that raised over £1500.


Motivated by a personal experience administering CPR while on holiday, Group Lead Volunteer, Richard Taylor, initiated the fundraising appeal, emphasising the importance of having a defibrillator readily available during emergencies. Mr Taylor reflects, "This experience made me realise how important it was to have a defibrillator as close as possible in the event of someone having a heart attack."


The newly installed indoor defibrillator is accessible to the public only when the Scout Hut is in use. The group continues to raise funds for an exterior unit accessible to the local community at all times, actively seeking sponsors to contribute to this community safety initiative.

So… could you help us? None of our Leaders are paid – they are all volunteers. The majority of our Leaders have full time jobs and a family. We have both male and female Leaders of all ages. Leaders get involved because they want to have fun and make new friends.

You do not have to be a Leader. We have lots of roles away from leading the sections and a great team of adults that support the leaders in making it all happen. Why not join our Executive Committee, Social Team, help look after the kit, be a activity skills instructor, help maintain our hut or get involved in fundraising. We have a active watersports team who run canoeing, kayaking and raft building for our members and we also offer climbing and mountain walking opportunities.  There are lots of ways that you can get fit, get wet and get involved!
