HOVERINGHAM SCOUT WATER ACTIVITY CENTRE
It’s been a really busy time at Hoveringham. The new Activity centre opened its doors in April with the official opening in May. So far record numbers have been taking part in activities and they have had the best ever start to a new venture, everyone loves the centre and the excellent lake.
Really big thanks go to all the people who have made this possible. A lot of hard work went into the build stage over the winter and still lots more time was given up by all the volunteers to ensure the youngsters have such a great time on their activities.
Upcoming event:

#YouShape Month
February saw groups from across Nottinghamshire diving head first into #YouShape month, a month where we celebrate our commitment to Youth Shaped Scouting. Through the support of our leaders, we had young people choosing the games they play, taking part in forums, and signing the #YouShape pledge to show their ongoing commitment to Youth Shaped Scouting.
There was great participation across the county, with some great feedback from leaders as to how their young people had been inspired and empowered to take on the responsibility of shaping their Scouting experience. But remember it’s more than just a month, we should be adopting this approach all year around as the pledge outlines.
Many thanks to everyone who got involved over February – and best of luck for your future #YouShape endeavors!
