Trip to the Birmingham Apple Store

Over the last few weeks the whole Group has enjoyed a fantastic time at the Apple Store in Birmingham. The Beaver, Cubs and Scouts have had the chance to work on their Digital Citizen badges using the latest Apple technology.

Our Cubs kicked things off with over 50 of them taking up the chance to hop on the train to Birmingham and spend nearly 2 hours making music. The Scouts followed a week later, descending on the Apple Store to try their hand at coding to control the excellent Sphero balls and guide them around a maze. A couple of weeks later the Beavers also made their pilgrimage to express their creativity by making videos.

The excellent staff at the Apple Store did us proud. They provided a really well targeted set of activities that were just right for each age group.

Out thanks to Apple and to the excellent Leaders that organised this brilliant trip for the whole Group.

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.

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
