7th Lichfield Goes Online

Just because we cannot meet face-to-face at the moment does not mean that we cannot continue our Scouting adventure.

Our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts have been continuing with lots of badge work. We have also run a really successful Virtual Group Camp, with lots of our members camping out in their living rooms. 

Many of our sections have also discovered the joys of Online meetings. These meetings have been a great opportunity for our members to see and chat to their friends. This is summed up nicely by one of our Cubs:

"It’s very good that we’re still connecting and seeing our friends even though I miss seeing them in person xxx" - Joe

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.


GeoAccess, a local Asset Management company, played a crucial role by generously donating a matching Defibrillator training unit. Mark Coleman, Managing Director of GeoAccess and a dedicated Cub Leader, shared, "We are pleased to donate this training unit to the 7th Lichfield, supporting them in equipping their leaders and young people with vital life-saving skills."


The 7th Lichfield Scout Group extends heartfelt gratitude to all contributors who have supported this initiative.

Weʼre raising £1,500 to Buy a Defibrillator for 7th Lichfield Scout Group

I would like your support to purchase a defibrillator for our scout hut.

I recently witnessed a stranger collapse due to a sudden heart attack while on holiday in Spain. Thanks to my training as a volunteer Scout Leader, I was able to help initiate CPR, sustaining the man's life until the arrival of a police car equipped with a defibrillator. This experience made me think about what would happen if a similar medical emergency occurred during one of our scout meetings or camps.

Please visit our Just Giving page if you would like to donate.

Justin from our friends at Whittington Cricket Club ran a taster session for Somers Cubs last week. It was a shame that the weather did not permit a trip to the ground, but I am sure that we will pay them a visit before long.


The cricket club are raising funds at the moment for an ambitious plan to go 'off-grid' to support a sustainable future. You can read more about their appeal here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/taking-whittington-cricket-club-to-the-next-level
