Huge congratulations to the two Scout Groups who’ve received the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service: St George’s Mill Hill Scouts in Blackburn and 4th Crosby and District (St William of York). We’re so proud of all you achieved! bit.ly/3Oe4zp4


Our Scout Groups will get so much use out of this new fire shelter over the coming years. Thanks to all the volunteers for giving up so much of their time

Quick lunch break during our Volunteer Day. Thanks to @CommunityCVS for funding this project and our brilliant volunteers for giving their time, skills and enthusiasm to developing the site to give users an even better experience.

Fantastic news for St Georges Mill Hill Scout Group, the work they have done on @CanalsideBBurn is truly amazing and it's a credit to our district.

Amazing news for our good friends at St George’s Mill Hill Scout Group. Stuart and the whole team have been Instrumental in helping our group set up and a big part of Muslim children enjoying scouting in the town. Thankyou for all your support over the years and congrats!! 🥳

A very busy volunteer night as we continue to build our permanent fire pit shelter. This will replace our parachute which has served us well, but has to be taken down when high winds are forecast. Thanks to our brilliant volunteers and @CommunityCVS for their grant support.


A big thank you to the members of Dragon Explorer Scout Unit who represented the district at today's Service of Remembrance at Blackburn Cathedral and for laying the wreath at Corporation Park.

Last night, Chief Scout @DwayneFields joined King's Scouts in London to rehearse their role in Sunday’s national act of Remembrance at the Cenotaph. For over 100 years, Scouts have paid their respects at this event in Whitehall. Watch on the BBC on Sunday morning.

We were runners up tonight at the @CommunityCVS awards 2024. We don't do it for the awards, just knowing that over 6000 people will benefit and smile each year on site, that's enough. #volunteerappreciation #Volunteering

Great to see the volunteers from St Georges Mill Hill Scout Group continuing to develop the facilities at Canalside Activity and Environment Centre.

Did you know our outdoor classroom has two barns (one with wood burning stove), covered outdoor area and lighting. We also have path lights from the canal gate to the barns. This means you can still use the site right through the winter months.

Loved joining St James’ Scout Group (@BlackburnScouts) this evening to learn what they’ve been up to and celebrate their 1st birthday. They’re growing (fast!) and making a real impact on the local community. Well done!
