Girls Club in Ambleside

Following a grant received from BBC Children in Need in 2008, Our Place Youth Club now hosts a
session for young women. After a quiet start the girl's only session now has 15 members, most of who now attend on a regular basis.

These young women have helped to choose and organise the activities that take place in their session, with
some prompt and guidance from Youth Work staff. Their chosen activities so far have been hair and beauty,
photography, cooking and baking and a volleyball and badminton tournament. The girls look forward to the
weather brightening up so they can have a barbeque outdoors.

They welcome young women who want to have fun, gain new skills and try out new experiences. This is a very
positive, friendly club and they are always pleased to see new faces who role up to become a member.
For further information including venue, dates and times please email Jude Harkness, Youth leader of Our Place Youth Club, Ambleside

"Scouting is where it all began. It gave me a lot of confidence." Bear Grylls (Chief Scout 2009)

The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for young people aged 6-25yrs old but most of all it provides fun!

Scouting in Cumbria is thriving more than ever, with leaders offering young people a variety of experiences from outdoor activities such as climbing and canoeing, to travel opportunities both in this country and abroad and the chance to get positively involved, working with their local community.
