1st Claygate Scout and Guide Band
The 1st Claygate Scout and Guide Band were delighted to again be asked to open the events at the Claygate Flower Show in July. We marched into the arena and performed a drill display, playing our favourite band tunes.
This term promises to be even more exciting, as the band is preparing for a very special trip to Disneyland Paris, where they will have the amazing opportunity to lead the parade. This will be a memorable experience for all the band members and a wonderful reward for the hard work and enthusiasm they put into the band.
Closer to home, there will be plenty of opportunities to see and hear the band in December. They will be performing at the Claygate Christmas Lights event, as well as playing carols around the village on 18th and 19th December.

2026 is a big birthday year
We’re celebrating, 40 years of Beavers and 110 years of Cubs along with Beavers and Cubs across the UK.
In 1st Claygate that’s over 250 young people and volunteers all celebrating, making it one of the biggest birthdays ever.
A proud history
These badges celebrate the dates when the Beavers and Cubs sections were rolled out across the UK as part of the Scouts family.
Beavers had a proud history in Northern Ireland before they became official UK-wide sections in 1986. This is also a timely moment to acknowledge this pioneering work which paved the way for thousands more young people to also become Beavers Scouts.
Cubs began as ‘Wolf Cubs’ in 1916, after a successful pilot programme, and officially became Cub Scouts in 1966.
