The friendly interest shown by parishioners to the HQ is much appreciated. We recently held our AGM under Tony Hogg’s Chairmanship. The main pointes raised were:- 

The loan from the PCC to develop the Priory Room has now been repaid in full. Many thanks to the Church for enabling this funding.

The main hall has been repainted.

Successful fundraising events have included the annual Soup and Sandwich event, a Quiz Night and a Wine and Cheese evening at Trinity House.

Rents to user groups will remain the same.

The committee acknowledged the hard work of Christine Wann who raised many thousands of pounds for the HQ – largely through the ‘pound for pound’ scheme operated by Barclays Bank. Tony concluded the business of the evening by thanking all those who contribute their time and skills to keep the HQ functioning for the enjoyment of Scouts, Guides and the wider community.

The 6th Tynemouth (Holy Saviour's) Scout Group was first registered in 1926.  The official aim of the Scout Association is to encourage the physical, mental, and spiritual developement of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society.  We aim to provide an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training based on the Scout Promise and Law and guided by adult leadership.

We have our own Scout and Guide Head Quarters in Tynemouth which is used by all the scouting and guiding organisations.

Beaver Colony

For boys aged 6 - 8 years.  The theme of Beavers is mainly based on fun but boys are gently moulded towards the day when they will join the Cub Scouts. 

Cub Scouts

For boys aged 8-101/2 years. As a Cub Scout the boy learns many things which include building up an acceptable friendly, competitive spirit which stands them in good stead when they move on the the Scouts.

The Scouts

The Scout Group is for boys aged 101/2 to 151/2 years after boys have moved from the cub scouts and prepares them to move onto the Venture unit where they can continue in scouting until the age of 20.
