4th Bramhall (St Michael’s) AGM – 16/07/2025

As we reflect on another remarkable year, the 4th Bramhall (St Michael’s) Scout Group continues to thrive as a hub of learning, laughter, and leadership. With energetic young members, passionate volunteers, and strong community support, 2025 was a year that brought fresh faces, new ideas, and unforgettable adventures.

The AGM and end of year BBQ was held at the hut on Wednesday 16th July. This is not only a time to reflect on what we have done and look forward, but to also recognise the young people across the sections with Beaver, Cub and Scout of the year. Scouts also recognise a patrol of the year for team work.

People Behind the Movement

This year saw a transition in leadership, with the appointment of Matthew as Group Lead Volunter (GLV) in October 2024. His involvement has sparked renewed momentum across the group. We welcomed new volunteers in to the group in our sections – Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers, and celebrated the ongoing commitment of long-time volunteers whose energy keeps our group vibrant and strong. It was great to see 3 Cub leaders being invested at the AGM.

A big thankyou to all the volunteers, trustees and other behind the scenes that make 4th Bramhall the successful group it is today.
