Friday Scout Programme – 2026
Meeting times are 7.30-9pm in the Scout Hall and 7-8.30pm in Bonaly School except when noted otherwise below.
Please note Scouts don’t need phones at Scouts and we don’t wish to see any phones in use while at Scouts.
For Bonaly School, please use the door into the main hall from Bonaly Grove.
Absence
The leaders have been reviewing the way we report attendance and found the group WhatsApp to be inefficient and not a secure way to track scout attendance.
In future please could you therefore email 108scout@gmail.com to report an absence quoting:
– full scout name
– reason for absence
– scout group (A or B)
If you don’t email us we’ll simply mark your scout as absent with no reason and may give your spot to another scout in the waiting list if absence persists.
Uniform
Please wear scout uniform (shirt and necker) unless told otherwise and bring a full water bottle. When full uniform is not required, please wear your necker.
