The Scouts - who we are and what we do
You might think you know about Scouting, but much has changed over the years. If you want to learn more, read on.
Scout Troop for who?
The Scout Troop is currently for young people aged 10½ and 14/15 yrs. Many will have been Beaver Scouts or Cub Scouts, but the Troop is open to girls, so we do attract ex-Brownie Guides, and some young people who are completely new to Scouting.
The Troop is managed by a team of volunteer leaders who have a commitment to work to the national standards and principles of The Scout Association. (If you are interested in helping with the troop in some capacity we will be delighted to explore some of the options with you.)

This is a group for people with learning disabilities and their families, friends and carers. We meet once a month in the Parish, but don’t think that’s the limit of our activities. In fact, we form a network with the neighbouring parishes of Enfield, Edmonton, Whetstone and Palmers Green, providing support and encouragement for those with special needs in the area. At our meetings you’ll find arts, crafts, flower arranging, games, music, playing cards and board games, not to mention laughter, friendship and fellowship. It’s an opportunity for people to meet others in similar circumstances, to make friends and to share information. It’s all free, so please come along.
Volunteer helpers are also always welcome: please contact Libby Biberian on the phone number listed.
The Saturday Clubs for people with learning difficulties are managed in partnership with Parishes and St Joseph's Pastoral Centre with the support of volunteers in the Parish.
When: 3pm-5pm one Saturday a month.
Where: Parish Hall.
Contact: LIBBY BIBERIAN 07960 226421.

The Bernadette Club is a regular get together for the members of the Parish, held in the Parish Hall. Its open to everyone, but is particularly suitable for older parishioners. It offers a chance to get out, to meet people and to play cards, quizzes, board game and, of course, bingo (no rude guesses as to the identity of the two fat ladies please!). If your luck is in with the bingo, then flatter Lady Luck further with a flutter in the raffle. Refreshments are served and if you need help in getting here it can be provided. Not only that, we have a couple of outings each year in the spring and the summer. It changes, but recently we went for a day of lunch, tea and music hall, and a boat trip down the river to see some beautiful gardens.
There are over 60 members of the Bernadette Club and normally 30-40 present at each meeting. It costs a measly £1 per person and we look forward to seeing you.
When: 2pm-4pm on the first Thursday of the month.
Where: Parish Hall.
Contact: the parish office or simply turn up.

The Parents and Toddlers playgroup has resumed. Note the different day and time.
An informal playgroup for parents and preschool children (0-4 years) that meets in the Parish Hall. There are lots of toys available for the children to play with and it gives mothers a chance to meet other mothers, to share information and to make new friends. And fathers, grandparents or other carers are all more than welcome to come along too. Coffee, tea and biscuits are available, as are suitable drinks for the children. The cost is £2 per child per session, which goes towards covering our running costs.
When: we meet on Monday morning (10.30am-12.30pm) during term time.
Contact: Parish office 020 8368 1638.
