The Spring/Summer 2025 term for Squirrels, Beavers and Cubs plans to be more outdoor focused, with themes of community, exploration and nature. This means sessions will run at the same time as usual but from different locations for a better experience each week.
Please check below where your Squirrel, Beaver or Cub are expected to have their session for each week. This will not be emailed out each week unless there are any last minute changes, but this webpage will be available for you to check.
NOTE:
- The usual meeting place for sections based in Chorlton is: the Chorlton Scout Hut, 29 Buckingham road, Chorlton, Manchester, M21 0SB
- The usual meeting place for sections based in Northenden is: St Wilfrid’s CE Primary school, Patterdale road, Northenden, M22 4NR
- Hough End based sessions are at: Chorlton Scout Activity centre, Houghend Crescent, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, M21 7TL
