The Scout Fellowship
For adults aged 18+

The Scout Fellowship is a group of adults who have one thing in common - a wish to support Scouting. It is a large part of the 'backbone' of the Scout Movement - supporting the young people and voluntary leaders wherever help is required.

Scout Fellowship in Cambridgeshire recognises the talents and abilities of its members whether it is physical, mental, geared to a particular technical skill or general support. It could be talent as a badge examiner, a Training Adviser to new leaders, catering for courses, running pioneering courses, assisting with hill walking, rock climbing etc. We all have something to offer as far as supporting Scouting is concerned whatever our age or ability.

Icenorum Living History Group

Icenorum Living History Group covers the Iron Age, Roman, Anglo Saxon and Viking periods and they would love the opportunity to present their displays.

They have recently received a grant from the Local Network Fund to enable them to do just that, to put on events for community groups such as the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, a grant which has reduced the cost a great deal to just £1 per child.

The group is particularly interested in exploring ideas raised concerning changes arising from immigration/invasion, the improvements this brought and how this country became what it is thanks to excellent new ideas.

Although this might sound rather serious and daunting, in actual fact it is great fun trying out, for example, Roman weaponry and armour (all child-safe), talking about a day in the life of an auxiliary, or preparing (very smelly) Roman food!

If you would like further information then contact Mary Hannigan at icenorum@hotmail.co.uk

By the way, they are all teachers and parents and are all CRB checked.
