Lancaster SSAGO is the largest SSAGO in the country, we are a very friendly club open to any students from Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria. We do something fun every Tuesday night like film and pizza nights, scavenger hunts around campus, bowling and board games - and after the exciting bits we usually go and have a quiet drink in a college bar. During term time we meet on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9:30, and you can usually find us in the Welcome Centre, but check our socials for more up to date info on what we are doing and where we are meeting!
We’re part of a national network (SSAGO, Student Scouts and Guides Organisation) of over 40 universities which means we can offer the unique opportunity to travel around and meet with students with similar interests from across the UK at rallies (big national camps) held every term and our annual ball, where a range of activities are on offer - including hiking, trampolining, climbing, kayaking, bar crawls, and, of course, a campfire!
We organise two of our own camps every year too; a weekend Freshers' Camp in November and a whole week Summer Camp in the penultimate week of the year. We also hold an alumni sleepover in a scout hut in Lancaster in Lent term where we meet up with our graduate friends!
For those who wish to volunteer, we work closely with both Scouting and Guiding in Lancaster so there are numerous opportunities to get involved with local Groups and Units, whether this is on a weekly basis or just for one off events!
Membership currently only costs £6 per term!
We’re open to everyone, including those who’ve never been involved with Scouts or Guides before, so do come along - we’d love to meet you, and our socials are an excellent way of making new friends and trying out things you wouldn't usually do! And we're all lovely, so if you have any questions at all then get in touch via email or find us on facebook or instagram :)
