There
is a great deal of choice for the youngsters of Bollington! But successful youth
groups need good leaders. If you would like to volunteer to help with Guides,
Brownies or Rainbows please call Alex Douglas-Kane on 01625−572944 or, for Beavers,
Cubs or Scouts then please call Jill Scarlett on 01782-517021.

The Youth Club at Water Street School has closed. This was brought about by the lack of adult volunteers to supervise the sessions.

2nd Bollington Scout Group
The Group is flourishing and includes Beavers, Cubs and Scouts at present with an Explorer Unit also based at the Scout Hut. We aim to provide an exciting programme with lots of new activities for the young people to try and to have fun. All meetings are held (during term-time only) at the Scout Hut on Albert Road, Bollington. As with many Scout Groups, there can sometimes be a waiting list to join so please put your name down early to avoid having to wait! General information on Scouting can be found at our web site .
