All members of Blandford Scout Group get-together to organise and take part in great activities and events.
Even though Scouting has stopped due to Coronavirus we have still managed to stay connected, have fun outdoors and learn new skills!
In 2018 Blandford Scout Group created a community activity of decorating rocks and hiding them around town to help make the community smile. A facebook group was created to keep an eye on where rocks are being hid or where they are being found!
In the Woodhouse gardens a local resident has created a box to put the decorated stones in so that they can be taken by anyone to keep or rehide!
Help at a meeting or event!
Must move to Occasional Helper if helping more that once a month, attending any overnight activities, having unsupervised access to young people or dealing with money.

The role of the GSL is to manage and support the Scout Group and it's Leaders to ensure it runs effectively and that Scouting within the Group develops in accordance with the rules and policies of the Scout Association.
As GSL's we have been appointed by and are responsible to our District Commissioner and are part of the District Management Team.
Ourselves and all adult volunteers implement the policies of the association at all times: Religious, Equal opportunities, Safety, Vetting, Child protection, Anti-bullying, Development, Privacy and data protection
Our adults aren't experts in everything... If you have a great hobby or skill you would like to share with young people for a few sessions a year please do get in touch with us. Don't worry if you aren't very confident our leaders are always happy to help run the sessions with guidance on the activity from yourself.
If you love being around young people and being part of their journey into adulthood you are more than welcome to come and try out some sessions and see how you get on. The adult leadership teams have so much fun and work really well together, you will hopefully feel part of our Blandford Scout Group family!
