What is Group History

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Group History


The exact date that the Group was first registerd is currently unknown. However it is mentioned, under the name of "Leighton Buzzard (Church)" on the registration form for the Leighton Buzzard Local Association dated 5th January 1937.

The other Groups listed are "Leighton Buzzard", "Leighton Buzzard (Ceders)", "Heath & Reach" and "Hockliffe".

We also have one currently unsubstantiated referance to a registration date for the Group of 23rd October 1965.

The Group appears again under the same name, but with a different registration number on the Registion form for the Leighton - Linslade and Wing Scout District dated 17th January 1971.

This district was formed by the merger of the Linslade and Wing District with the Leighton Buzzard District. The other groups listed being "Church of the Sacred Heart, Leighton Buzzard", "1st Linslade", "1st Leigton Buzzard" which has the same registion number as the "Leighton Buzzard" group mentioned in the previous document, "Salvation Army, Leighton Buzzard" "Heath & Reach" now with a different registraion number, "R.A.F. Stanbridge Air Scouts" which was registered on 10th September 1969 as a Group sponsored by R.A.F. Stanbridge and "Stockgrove Park".

The next document we have is dated 14th March 1996, when the R.A.F. Stanbridge Group changed its name to "Riverside Scout Group" and loses it sponsored status.

The Group gained its present name of "Church Riverside Scout Group" on 11th December 2001 when the "Church" and "Riverside" Groups merged under the registration number of the "Church" Group.

It is currently believed that the Group was originally formed in connection with All Saints Church in the Town, possibly under a different name and that in due course it relocated to its present headquarters on the Hockliffe Road, after the Land had been donated by a Mr. Leslie Sell. It is also believed that the current Scout Hut was opened by Sir Ralph Reader of Gang Show fame.

The documents we currently have to hand are very few and far between and woefully incomplete. If you have any information and in particular any documents or photo's relating to the "Church", R.A.F. Stanbridge" or "Riverside" groups, please do get in touch with us via our contacts page.

Behaviour Policy

Policy Statement

 

Church Riverside Scout Group is proud of the very high standards of Scouting that its leaders deliver in all sections. Leaders voluntarily give their time to provide an interesting and exciting program of activities.

The aim is that everyone involved with the Scout Group has fun, safely and with due consideration for others.  

Disruptive behaviour affects the enjoyment of everyone and persistent disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. We expect everyone to respect the values of Scouting, other members of their section, and their Leaders and agree to follow our Code of Conduct.

The Values of Scouting are:

Integrity:        We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal.

Respect:         We have self-respect and respect for others.

Care:               We support others and take care of the world in which we live.

Belief:             We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.

Cooperation: We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

All Members of  Church Riverside Scout Group must abide by the Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct for Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts

  • Leaders will deal with minor incidents by talking to the culprits at the time. This will be on an escalating, “three strikes and you’re out” basis, when the third sanction will be a report to the parents.
  • More serious incidents such as bullying or fighting will be reported immediately to parents, and robust action will be taken.
  • A scout may be asked to leave if they are deemed to be a risk to others or the well-being of the Group. If misbehaviour occurs at a camp, parents may be contacted to collect their scout immediately.  
  • Safety is paramount – scouts MUST listen to instructions.
  • Leaders and Adult Helpers should be shown respect at all times
  • In Scouting, a request for quiet is indicated by the Leader raising their arm or blowing a whistle. All members are expected to stop talking and pay attention to the Leader at such time.
  • “Flag break” or “Parade” is an important ritual at the start and end of each meeting. Scouts are expected to be quiet and to show respect to the Aims of Scouting, and to listen to their Leaders

Each section has their own implementation

These are aimed at the understanding of the particular age group, Cubs and Scouts are usually involved with generating their own versions which they are expected to adhere to.

Whilst attending Scouts is not compulsory, it is very difficult to execute activities well that have been prepared for a full attendance when fewer Scouts attend.

If a Scout cannot attend a meeting for any reason we ask that we be informed as soon as possible so that we do not delay starting our activities.

If a Scout does not attend for 3 consecutive weeks, without informing a Leader in advance, it will be assumed that they no longer wish to be a member. If they then subsequently return they will be put on the waiting list and given a place when one is available.

If a Scout does not attend for 4 non-consecutive weeks within a term, without informing a Leader in advance, we will contact you to ascertain whether they wish to remain a member. If they wish to remain a member they will be placed on the waiting list and given a place when one is available.

We are fully aware that our Scouts are involved in many other extracurricular activities and would never expect them to forego these in place of Scouting. What we do request is a certain level of courtesy to allow us to provide the best programme possible.
