This year’s Remembrance parade and service will be on Sunday 10th November. Meet at the Leas Cliff Hall at 10.20am in full and smart uniform. Dress warmly.

It’s National Volunteers week! We just want to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers – not just the uniformed leaders or the Executive Committee members, but also to all the parents that help out on trips and adventures away from the HQ or lend a hand at section meetings when we need it. Without you all, Scouting could not exist! THANK YOU. Every now and again a young person will be really surprised to find out we Scouting volunteers have a day job – “I thought this was your job!” is not an uncommon sentence to hear from them (and sometimes their parents!), but we are all volunteers, no financial reward, just doing it for the reward […]

This is a family occasion, so parents are required (please do not ‘drop off’ young people as we will not be taking responsibility for unaccompanied young people), but please feel free to bring siblings of […]
Lasting Memories is a community art and heritage project centered around the creation of seven giant beach poppies on the beaches of Folkestone at the end of June 2019. The project will commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the ‘Treaty of Versailles’ which marked the peace in Europe following the end of WW1. The poppies will represent the seven months between the Armistice of WW1 and the eventual peace on 28th June 1919 with seven themed stories that impacted the local community during this time. 11th Folkestone Scouts will be joining in with a pebble painting workshop on 11th June 2019, after the Awards evening. All members from all sections and their parents/families are invited to join in with this […]
