Squirrels are spreading joy across Berkshire! 🐿️
We take a deep dive into the positive effect that Squirrels are having on groups, communities and the adults who care for them at home and in education.

Thank you to all the @scouts for your brilliant entries and congratulations to Simon & Craig. It was extremely difficult to judge - such a high standard. Enjoy that @InmarsatGlobal launch from the Cape! 🚀 #skillsforlife

We recently hosted a Trustees' Workshop, and have just pulled together resources into one place
Check out berkshirescouts.org.uk/trust… and share with all of your Scout trustee friends!
Today we welcomed almost 100 trustees from Groups and Districts across the county. It was great to network, share ideas and learn more. We talked about transformation, finance, recruiting trustees, data protection, effective meetings, property and more!
🐿 15 Squirrels Dreys have opened across Berkshire since the national roll-out of the @scouts newest and youngest section a year ago.
That’s around 180 four-to-six-year-olds learning #SkillsForLife - and we think that’s something worth celebrating!

Did you spot this in @guardian this weekend? Great personal story from a journalist who’s also a Cub leader.
Could you share this with any of your parents to give them an idea of how great it is to volunteer?
