3rd Gainsborough (Whiteswood) Scout Group
Our Headquarters is situated on Whiteswood Lane although we seem to attract members from all over the town as well as the villages around Gainsborough.
Our group is open to both Girls and Boys and consists of the following sections:
Beaver Scouts (6-8years old) meet weekly all through the year. The Beaver Scout Motto used to be 'Fun & Friends' so the weekly meetings consists of games, stories, craft activities and occasionally trips to places such as the fire station.
 Cub Scouts (8 - 101/2 years old) also meet weekly. In 2000 we opened the doors for girls to join us and are happy to say that we have a number of girls enjoying all the fun that we have to offer. We do lots of activities and play games each week as well as making friends. During the year we will be camping with our older members, the Scouts, which will give us a taste of what's to come.
 Scouts (101/2 - 141/2 years old) meet every week for girls and Boys. During the year we participate in many activities, here are just a selection : Camping, Hiking, Climbing, Abseiling, Pioneering, Canoeing, Swimming, Air Rifle Shooting, Motor Mechanics and many more. 
During the weekly meetings as well as the odd game we also learn many new skills (such as survival, cooking and first aid) which we can put to good use during the activities we do outside the Headquarters.
During August of last year we spent a week under canvas at an International Jamboree in Lincolnshire called Poacher 2004. We participated in many activities and also had the opportunity to meet Scouts and Guides from all over the World.
