Our Scout Leaders
Claire Weedon (Scout team leader)
I’m Claire, one of the scout leaders. I started Brownies ages 8 and then grew up through Guides and up until I was 27 I was a guide leader. I then took a bit of a break whilst I had kids. I have three. One who is now in Cubs, one in Beavers and one eagerly waiting for Squirrels.
Once my kids started at the 8th, I couldn’t help but feel jealous and so joined up. I’ve been a scout leader since 2022 and been loving all the adventurous activities particularly the water sports.
Outside of Scouts, I’m a teacher and my school’s SENCO.
Jo Wall
I’ve been a Scout Section Assistant since 2017. Prior to that I was a Brownie leader. I moved across to Scouts because my twin girls wanted to be part of a mixed group rather than girls only. In my head, I was only doing this until my girls left scouts, Well, what can I say, my girls left in 2022 and I’m still here! Scouts is an amazing organisation, the opportunities, learnings, support, friendships and activities it offers both Scouts and leaders is phenomenal. I would happily encourage anyone to sign up.Rebecca Newell
