Squirrels Turns 5 – What a Day! 

Date: 7th Apr 2026 Author: Cathryn Atkinson

What an incredible celebration we had for Squirrels’ 5th Birthday at CYC Scouts!

Two weeks ago, we came together to celebrate a truly special milestone — the Squirrels’ 5th birthday!

It was an incredible day filled with fun activities, laughter, and plenty of smiling faces. From the energy and excitement of the young people to the fantastic atmosphere shared by everyone there, it’s safe to say it was a celebration to remember.

From outdoor adventures and games to creative activities and plenty of smiles, it was amazing to see so many young people getting stuck in and enjoying everything on offer.

A real highlight was bringing everyone together to celebrate—with cake, laughter, and a fantastic community spirit that makes Scouting so special.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped plan, organise, and run the day. And a special thank you to all of our volunteers — your time, dedication, and enthusiasm made the event possible and ensured it was such a success. Events like this simply wouldn’t happen without you, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do.

Here’s to many more years of Squirrels, adventure, and Skills for Life!
