WELCOME

                                                                                                     to

                                     12th Ashton (St.Ann's) Scout Group

                    The Group formed in 1979 with just a small number Cub, since then our  numbers have continued

                                              to grow. We now have a total number of 88 Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

                            Our Headquarters is on a large housing estate in the town of Ashton-under-Lyne, which is in

                        Tameside in Lancashire, England. The group is situated in what would be considered a poor area,

                         our Headquarters was originally an Army Barracks and was moved to it's present location by the

                      Salvation army in the 1920's, it is constructed entirely of timber with the outside more recently being

                            covered in a  metal cladding, although the outside of our Headquarters has quite a respectable

                              appearance, our main activities hall is in need of repair, the inner roof is in  very bad shape

                        and our lighting is damaged, we also have considerable trouble with mice, we are unable to protect

                                              the tents that we have from the mice and they are slowly eating them.

                            We as Leaders of the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts like to take them camping, but this will soon

                                               be  impossible due to the damage being done to the tents by the mice.

        If there are any Companies or anybody out there that can help us in any way, you would make a lot of children very

                          happy, we are not asking for much, just the chance to be able to take our children away for the

           weekend and keep dry, a few of our tents now leak and we do not have suitable lighting or a dinning tent for them

                                                                                                to eat in.
