They said it is impossible!
They said it can’t be done!

Silence is golden as determined Beavers from the Thursday colony put their voices on hold and raise nearly £700!

Spirited youngsters from an Ipswich Beaver colony showed quiet determination to complete a sponsored silence for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).

Twelve children took part in the challenge, putting their voices on pause for 30 minutes.

It was part of their ‘world’ and ‘teamwork’ challenge badges, and, in the process, they raised a magnificent £689!

They enjoyed the challenge and should be immensely proud of themselves with what they have achieved.

A new Beaver Colony

We are starting a second Beaver colony meeting on Friday evenings from 6pm – 7.15pm at our Chesterfield Drive Scout Hall. Join us for a free try-out session on Friday 9th January from 6pm – 7.15pm.

We are 100 years old!

Our scout group celebrated its centenary on Saturday 12t July 2025 with hundreds of past and present members of the group joining the celebrations.

The group opened a new permanent display of the groups history and launched a centenary fund to benefit other scout groups in the county.

Joining the celebrations was Gary Burden and Mark Pearson the scouting lead volunteers for the County and the Wolsey district. They were both on hand to present Chief Scout Silver Awards to 9 Cubs and long service awards to leaders in the group.

They also supported the groups earliest member Bob Minter to unveil a commemorative plaque, plant a tree and bury a time capsule with items reflecting Scouting today.

You can find more pictures from our Centenary Celebrations in our gallery so head there now !
