First, Second and Third in District 5-a-side

1st Consett Scouts and Cubs are celebrating after amazing success at the district 5-a-side competition.

The two Scout teams dominated the competition and came first and second, beating teams from Dipton, Blackhill, Annfield Plain and Burnopfield. Our winning team did not lose a match against the seven other teams. Our "B" team only lost one match, and that was against our winning team. Our top scorers were Joe Marshall for the "A" team and Will Blighe for the "B" team.

The Cub Scouts also came close to victory, eventually finishing third in the close Cub competition.

Congratulations to everyone who took part.

2015 - A Year of Adventure

Cub Scouts at 1st Consett are looking forward to a Year Of Adventure in 2015. 

This year has been designated as a warm up to the Cubs 100 birthday celebrations in 2016, where we will commemorate one hundred years of Cub Scouts with local and national celebrations.

Between March and December 2015 the Cubs will do at least two adventurous activities a month. The Year of Adventure is all about giving Cub Scouts the opportunity to enjoy the excitement, exhilaration and challenge of adventurous activities.

As well as all the activities during the year, in October the Cubs will be taking part in an amazing Halloween Adventure Camp at the Scout Activity Centre next to Kielder Reservoir.

As we approach 100 years of Cub Scouts the Year of Adventure takes us back to what Scouting is all about. Fun and Adventure.
