fun facts about scouts

As we come to the end of the Scouting year, we wanted to pause and say a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful parents and carers who’ve supported 224 North London Air Scouts every step of the way.

Before we head off for a well-earned summer break, we want you to know: we appreciate you more than you know.

Behind Every Scout Is a Supportive Grown-Up

From early starts to soggy pick-ups, forgotten neckers to last-minute permission slips – you’ve been there.

You’ve helped get young people to Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts with a smile (mostly!), and your support has made all the difference.

You’ve Made Big Adventures Possible

This year has been full of highlights:

  • Campouts and cooking on fires
  • Team games and badge nights
  • Muddy hikes, big laughs, and even some aviation fun ✈️

Your encouragement, time, and energy have made every moment possible, whether you volunteered, sent in a kit, helped with lifts, or ensured someone turned up ready for adventure.

Watch Our “Welcome to 224” Video 🎬

To round off the year, we’ve put together a short video that captures the spirit of 224.
You’ll see the fun, the friendship, and everything your young people get up to.

It’s just a glimpse, but it shows what a special group this is – and how lucky we are to be part of it.

See You in September!

Thank you again for all the support, encouragement and behind-the-scenes work you do. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Have a fantastic summer – and we’ll be back for more fun, challenge, and adventure in September!

With thanks,
The 224 Team
