Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be careful with your words as they hold an immense power that costs you nothing but could mean everything to someone else. So, in a world where you can be anything, be kind ~ Sarah

Gold DofE

“A child’s mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support”- Kate Middleton.
This is becoming even more important now as it has been suggested that 1 in 10 schoolchildren have a diagnosable mental health problem. So join in the discussion of mental health with us by talking about it and helping us to raise money for charities such as YoungMinds ~ Jocelyn

Young Minds

Whilst carrying out our DofE we have all decided to raise money for a charity which means a lot to us all, YoungMinds. Mental health issues are something which we have all been touched in some way or another either by a family member, a friend or ourselves.
By doing this and helping to raise awareness of the issue around mental health we hope to help make the conversation around this topic more comfortable and accessible to people.
If you would like to be a sponsor for our final expedition, in which we plan to canoe from one side of Scotland to another, and help raise money for this amazing charity please message us or visit https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/pegasusexplorerscouts/feedback?utm_term=bVYqv9Zwq

Thank you Rotary

Huge thanks to Tyldesley with Atherton Rotary for their generous donation that will go towards our Gold DofE expedition and fund other activities at Pegasus.

Our Explorers gave a fantastic presentation to Rotary. They have come so far since they joined us 4 years ago and amongst many of the skills they have learned are now confident public speakers.
