OFFICERS OF THE GROUP
These are all unpaid, voluntary members of the public. At present, the ratio of children to adults is approximately 5 : 1.
SUPERVISORY QUALIFICATIONS
The Moulton Adventure Group has a number qualified first aiders and most members of staff have completed courses on child welfare/supervision and health education. On the activity front, we have many years of experience in running the activities we offer, some of our staff hold professional qualifications in mountaineering, rock climbing and canoeing.
COST
There is a small subscription per month, with reductions where there are more than one member attending from each family.
There are additional costs for uniforms and for nights out, for example ice skating. Summer Camp generally run at cost (which is considerably cheaper than school trips), which includes food, activities, transport and insurance.
The Moulton Adventure Group is divided into three sections:-
THE EAGLES
The Eagles meet on Thursday evenings from 7.00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. The Eagle section caters for young people between 8 and 11 years of age. It is a mixed sex group with the focus very much on smartness, punctuality, public service, agility, self-awareness and, of course, adventure. The Eagles activities include a little drill, merit awards (first aid, safety etc.) and a variety of games.
THE ADVENTURE UNIT
The Adventure Unit meets on Monday evenings from 7.30 p.m. until 9.15 p.m. The Adventure Unit encompasses 11 to 14 year olds and has been divided into manageable age groups working towards certificates of competence. Although the regime and the uniform etc. is more relaxed for this section, the objectives are very much the same as the others but with a stronger emphasis on the undertaking of more adventurous activities. Activities include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, walking, swimming, orienteering, debating, quiz nights, music, drama, board games, physical training etc. Trips out include ice skating, go-carting, bowling etc.
THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S AWARD GROUP
The Adventure Unit meets on Tuesday evenings from 7.30 p.m. until 9.15 p.m. The DofE section encompasses ages 14 to 18 years.. Its main aim is to provide the facilities and motivation for young people to progress through the nationally recognised Duke of Edinburgh’s award. In -between working towards their DofE the young people will join in the activities offered to the Adventure Unit.
Those members who are 18+ and who show an aptitude for voluntary youth work are offered the chance to become staff officers in the group. This is how many of the current Group staff became staff officers
