Profile
The Moulton Adventure Group is a voluntary youth organisation for young people based in the village of Moulton, Northwich. Members are drawn from the local community and from the surrounding area. It has a constitution, audited accounts and is a registered charity. (Registered Charity No. 510-065).
The Group was formed in October 1969 by Geoff Crompton and Les Burgess and was originally based on the best aspects of the Boys Brigade, the Scouts etc. To this day, the aims and objectives of the Group remain largely unchanged, although more recently the content has evolved to encompass the needs of young people in this present age, without losing the original emphasis on “adventure”.
The Autumn/Winter session commences in early September and during this time the Group is generally limited to indoor activities, including some merit awards (some members of the DofE group are progressing through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme), drill, first aid, safety and physical education. This session concludes at the end of March with our Annual Display and Inspection. All parents are invited and the occasion is usually officiated by a local dignitary.
The Group becomes more involved in outdoor pursuits in the Spring/Summer session, including kayaking , climbing and walking, giving members the opportunity to put into practice the skills developed during the Autumn/Winter session. During this session we hold our Annual Camp, a week in the outdoors with the emphasis very much on team work, coupled with self-reliance.
The Moulton Adventure Group possesses its own Headquarters in School Lane, Moulton. This building houses the range of equipment necessary for the Group to carry outs its activities, including tents, kayaks, canoes etc., that have been accumulated either new or second hand, during its 50+ years history.
