🐺✨ MEET THE TEAM: AKELA EDITION! ✨🐺

It's time to get to know the face behind the famous Cub Scout call... say hello to Vicki, better known around 1st Barry as Akela! 🌟

⏳ How long have you been volunteering with Scouts?
"I've been volunteering with 1st Barry Sea Scout Group for a year."

🌍 What do you do when you're not leading Cub adventures?
"I'm a Geography teacher in a secondary school."
So if you're ever lost on a hike, Akela probably knows exactly where you are. 🧭😂

🌅 Morning person or night owl?
"Morning person!"
The early bird catches the... badges? 🏅

☕ Coffee or tea?
"Lots and lots of cups of tea please!"
We're starting to think tea might actually be her superpower. 🫖💪

🍍 Pineapple on pizza: yes or no?
"Anything on a pizza is delicious!"
I think that's 3 for Pineapple so far....

📺 Favourite childhood TV programme/cartoon?
"Scooby-Doo!"
Which explains her enthusiasm for mysteries, adventures, and travelling with a quirky gang! 🐕🔍

👏 A huge thank you to Vicki for everything she does to help our Cubs learn new skills, make friends, and have amazing adventures every week.

Drop a 🐺 in the comments to say thank you to Akela!

🐺💛💚🍕☕

🌟 Could You Help More Young People Experience Scouting? 🌟
Our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts love the adventures, skills and friendships they enjoy each week at 1st Barry Sea Scout Group. But to keep offering these opportunities, and to welcome more young people, we need more adult volunteers.
We know life is busy, so we're looking for flexible volunteers who can help in a way that works for them, whether that's regularly, occasionally or behind the scenes.
You don't need previous Scouting experience, just a willingness to help make a difference.
👉 Could you help?
👉 Could a grandparent, aunt, uncle, family friend, neighbour or colleague?
Please help us spread the word and share this post.
