Our next scheduled maintenance session is Friday 2nd October, 9:30am–12:00pm.
Weather permitting, we’ll keep things fairly simple this time with a short gardening session – a chance to tidy things up, get a few jobs done and enjoy some time outdoors together.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a regular volunteer or joining us for the first time. We’d love to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Annual General Meeting, where the 2026 Annual Report & Accounts were presented and approved. It’s inspiring to see just how much the Group has achieved over the past year, and we’re incredibly grateful to all our volunteers whose time and energy make this possible.
A particular highlight of the year has been the successful completion of the HQ Improvement Project – delivered on time and on budget. This is a major milestone for the Group and a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved.
We are currently welcoming nominations for new Trustees of the Scout Group, as well as interest in the role of minute taker for our Trustee meetings. If you would like to support the Group in either capacity, please contact Colin Goodwin at chair@23rdbromleyscouts.org.
The 23rd Bromley had a fantastic time at the Bromley District Camp last weekend. All our sections were represented, and everyone got stuck into a huge range of activities — including Helter Skelter, Bouncy Castle, Inflatable Assault Course, Zip Wire, Laser Tag, Archery, Low Ropes, Grass Sledging, Go Karts, Bushcraft, Pottery, Pioneering, Slackline, and loads more.
Every young person was a real credit to the Group throughout the weekend. A huge thank you to all our leaders who gave up their time to organise and run such a brilliant camp.
Please join us at the Scout Hut for our AGM on Saturday 26th September, 2.30pm, followed by light refreshments.
All parents, friends and supporters of the Group are invited to attend.
We are open to nominations for new Trustees of the Scout Group and also a minute taker for our Trustee meetings. If anyone is interested in either of these roles please contact Colin Goodwin chair@23rdbromleyscouts.org
Just a quick reminder that we will be holding our next Jumble Sale on Saturday 3rd October. Doors open to the public at 14.00 and entrance is 50p per adult.
We will not be selling furniture, microwaves TV’s etc, just Bric a Brac, clothes, shoes, toys, books, small electrics/electronics and jig saws.
If you would like to drop off items at the HQ we will be at the HQ on Friday 2nd October between 15.00 – 20.00 and on Saturday 09.30 -11.00. If you have any queries regarding the Jumble Sale or are able to help Friday afternoon, evening or on Saturday please contact davidwilcox@23rdbromleyscouts.org
Saturday 3rd October is the date for a 23rd Scout Group Jumble Sale so please put the date in your diary.
If the jumble sale is to run smoothly we must have some help on the afternoon and evening of Friday 2nd October for putting up tables and sorting items as they come into the HQ and also on the morning of Saturday 3rd to sort any further donations. Then in the afternoon we will need help serving on stalls, and of course clearing up after the sale together with the removal of the left-over goods.
Many hands will definitely make lighter work of the event so please consider when you could best assist.
Please let us know when you can help by filling out the below form:
Our next maintenance morning at the 23rd Bromley Scout Hut will be on Saturday 12th September, 10am–12pm.
We’ll be getting stuck into a few jobs around the hut to keep everything looking its best and in good working order.
No specialist tools or skills are needed — just come along with a willingness to help and get involved! There will be plenty of jobs to suit everyone.

Please make a note in your diaries. We’d love to see as many volunteers as possible!
Before we head into the summer break, we’d like to remind everyone that our next 23rd Bromley Scouts Jumble Sale will take place on Saturday 3rd October.
Our Jumble Sale is a fantastic way to support local Scouting while giving unwanted items a new home. If you’re planning a clear-out over the summer holidays, we’d be grateful if you could set aside any donations for the sale.
We are looking for good quality:
Please note that we are not able to accept furniture, microwaves, televisions or other large household items.
If you can, please also ask your friends, family and neighbours if they have any items they would like to donate. Every contribution helps make the event a success and raises valuable funds to support Scouting activities at 23rd Bromley.
Details of donation drop-off times at Scout HQ will be announced in early September when Scout meetings resume.
If you have any questions about the Jumble Sale, please contact David Wilcox at davidwilcox@23rdbromleyscouts.org.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the Jumble Sale on Saturday 3rd October!

The 23rd Bromley Scouts are proud of the fantastic improvements at our HQ – with new toilets, a refreshed kitchen, and an accessible ramp, the building is looking better than ever.
Now that the major upgrades are complete, we’re turning our attention to the smaller jobs that keep our headquarters safe, tidy, and welcoming for everyone.
To help with this, we’re launching monthly drop‑in maintenance sessions, starting Friday 5 June and continuing on the first Friday of each month.
Volunteers can join anytime between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm to lend a hand with simple maintenance tasks around the HQ and garden. Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided — along with plenty of good company.
