Since the start of term ScoutsCymru has been offering Wales-wide sessions to our young people (and some of our leaders too!). From belting out an opera to exploring an ancient labyrinth, we’ve developed teamwork skills, worked towards badges and had a lot of fun along the way! We want to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who have helped make this happen over the last few weeks.
Lots of you have sent in feedback which has been really useful for the team. Your comments have been overwhelmingly positive but one thing we have heard loud and clear is that you’d like to know the dates of the sessions further in advance. We’re delighted to announce the sessions for the next half term below!
There’s a few things that we’re still firming up which we’ve not included on here but all information will be available on the events page of our website as soon as they are confirmed.

The other piece of feedback we’re getting is that you’re struggling to find the links for the sessions. The links are sent out automatically by Eventbrite so make sure to check your email confirmation! If you still can’t find them then drop admin@scoutscymru.org.uk as the inbox is monitored during the sessions.
Towards the end of the term we will be looking for further feedback on these sessions but in the meantime we look forward to seeing you on zoom!
