We launched our Hazelnut Squirrels Drey in June 2022 and it has been incredibly popular. So much so that we have a waiting list of more than 40 children waiting to join; we can take a maximum of 16 Squirrels age children at the moment.
Sadly this means we cannot take any more Squirrels aged young people onto our waiting list, at least not until the end of the summer term.
It’s unlikely we could offer any of them a place in time before their 6th birthday.
I am sorry if this is a disappointment, and I encourage you to look for other Squirrels Dreys around Biggleswade and District or Bedfordshire. Currently, the nearest Drey is at 1st Sandy Scout Group, although others will be opening nearby.
We are always looking for new leaders. If you would like to volunteer to help us open up another Squirrels Drey in Potton, please contact our Group Scout Leader, Andy Bargery, using the form here. You can read about the opportunities for volunteering on our website here.
Once again, we are sorry if you would like your child to start at Squirrels. We hope to expand our capacity soon.
You can learn about our waiting list policy here to find out when your children can join the waiting list for other Sections. We currently have spaces in our Scout Troop (age 11.5 – 14) and Explorers section (age 14-18).
