Black Ops III – “Do your duty”
Our scout sections (Engima, Wibbles and Viernes) spent the weekend on a back to basics camp. We had a semi-dedicated media bod on site, so we were able to bring you several posts sharing video and photos from the weekend. Hit the links to see more – great Explorer zombies!

Thank you to our new volunteers
A big thank you to those who responded to our plea for more volunteers. We’ve had some lovely people already start to support the Group; some beginning their volunteer journey, others picking up where they’d left off previously. Every little bit of time given, really does help – please follow the below link to see how you too could make a difference in young people’s lives.
