FROME Scout group is looking to re-open Beavers after closing down due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Development team assistant, Hannah Jackson said, “Over the past six months 1st and 7th Frome Jubilee Scout Group have slowly been reopening their sections since closing down post covid, like a lot of scout groups. After covid lots of the previous leaders chose not to restart with the sections and sadly the group closed.
“With the help of the Regional Services Team, within the Scout Association, the group now has a thriving Scout troop for 10.5 to 14-year-olds and a growing Cub pack for ages eight to 10.5-year-olds, and we’re soon hoping to re-open Beavers for six to eight-year-olds.
“The group is looking for interested young people to join our interest lists. If interested, send an email with the young person’s full name and DOB to, enquiry@ 1stand7thfromescouts.org.uk.
“We’re also looking for adults to join the teams in Cubs and Beavers. Volunteering is flexible and fun and fit around the adult and is good for you. Scouts meet on Mondays at 7.30 to 9pm; Cubs meet on Thursdays 6pm to 7.30pm; and Beavers meet on Wednesdays at 6pm to 7pm. All sections meet at the Scout Hut on Welshmill Road. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts is all about having fun and learning skills for life as well as making memories along the way.
“All sections welcome young people onto its interests lists and we’re always looking for volunteers for our committee and within the sections.”

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
