Scouts
Scouts (11 – 14 years old)
There are two Scout troops in Marple, with Kinder (twitter) meeting at the Scout Hut on Tuesdays, and Cobden (twitter) on Thursdays, from 19.30 – 21.00.
There is currently a waiting list for both – sign up via the join form to be added to it.
Whilst both troops meet up separately, there are many activities that they do together – with the annual Easter Camp and Summer Camps a particular highlight, as well as Gang Show, joint walking days (and nights) and other ad hoc activities.
They also face off against each other in the Ian Corbishley Battle of Marple (twitter), when they compete at various challenges across a whole weekend before having a final assault course to decide which troop has bragging rights for the next year!

Cobden’s BBQ Night
We’re making the most of the sun by taking the Scouts up to Linnet Clough. We started early so we could fit in a game of Manhunt, and have since moved on to Quick Cricket while we wait for the burgers to cook!

We’ve taken the scouts to Brabyns Nursing Home, armed with trowels, bedding plants & enthusiasm, in order to try and make it a nicer place to live! One scout has already asked whether you bury the plants in their plastic containers (!) but everyone else
