This event was held for the first time last year and has already become a staple entry in our calendar. It is a great family evening, with the kids playing out on the field and the adults enjoying some sampling of the beer. The event also raises additional funds for the group which we will put towards maintaining our camping and paddlesports equipment.

A huge thank you as always to our Social Committee would tirelessly plan these events throughout the year and to all of the volunteers that help out on the night and the morning after!

On the night we had a fantastic set by a local duo called Scribble Victory. They managed to get us all up and dancing. They made a VLOG about their night, check it out: Scribble Victory VLOG.

We were also joined again this year by Blast Off, as you will see from the photo, their band leader used to be one of our Scouts and even managed to turn up in his old Scout uniform!

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.

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
