We are a Brownie unit located in Ardrossan, welcoming girls from Ardrossan, Saltcoats, and Stevenston. Brownies open doors to a world of exciting opportunities, challenges, and fun. During our weekly meetings, the girls gather with friends to explore new hobbies, unleash their creativity, develop new skills, and embark on outdoor adventures. Alongside these activities, they can earn interest badges in areas they’re passionate about. Our programme features six key themes—Know Myself, Express Myself, Be Well, Have Adventures, Take Action, and Skills For My Future—allowing girls to engage in a diverse range of challenges and learn about various topics.

We would like to spend grant money we recieve on an outing for the girls that would be free of charge for them, 

Outing £300

Badges/ Badge books/ Resources £250 

Craft/ cooking supplies £200

Encourage participation from a greater number of young people within the Three Towns by having Open Events/Try Bowls Events - £300

These cooking classes are important. statistics on poor eating habits in children or families, are only getting higher as well as obesity rates, the lack of nutritional education also means we can step in and offer guidance and first hand help for these families and kids

We will have a chef attend these sessions in our communiy cafe, we will provide all the utensils and take away food tubs and all ingrediants for these classes.

As a group that has representation across most of our secondary schools we have consulted with other young people to ask them about their pupil councils and youth voice groups.  Through doing this it was clear there was no consistency or a minimum standard of what they do or the support they get to ensure that young peoples voices are heard across the school community.  We feel as a group there needs to be guidance to support school staff and the young people.  It shouldn’t come down to what school you go to determine how involved you are allowed to be in decisions that affect you. 

We would use this money to bring together groups of young people to support us in writing a Pupil Council Toolkit and Charter that schools would sign up for.  This would involve around 50 young people from across North Ayrshire.  This would make sure schools have a minimum standard for their pupil councils in schools.  With young peoples rights now part of Scots Law, it is more important than ever that Article 12 (young people having a voice and having platforms to use it) is put into action across our local authority.

By bringing these young people together we would write, design and create a Pupil Council Toolkit that would launch in partnership with schools, to support running effective pupil councils.  The Toolkit would have information, guidelines and templates for these groups to run effectively and allow young people a ‘seat at the table’ to influence decisions that affect them.

The event will take place at Ardeer community centre. 

Costs

Catering Costs – Snacks and refreshments for the day - £250

Money towards graphic artist – Working with a graphic artist who will sketch in real time, simple graphics of the groupsdiscussions as they happen. We can watch the visuals unfold and get to see the big picture develop as the conversation grows giving us actionable results from the event. £920

The remainder of the event costs would be covered from a small pot of funding we have secured for the Pupil Council Toolkit.

52nd Ayrshire operates from St Mary's Church Hall, our three sections run each week on a Tuesday and Thursday Most of our children and young people are resident in Saltcoats with a few who travel from Stevenston and Ardrossan.

We provide indoor and outdoor activities for children and young people aged 6yrs - 25 yrs. We provide activities that support health and well-being and that build confidence independence and self-esteem. We strive to provide activities that are fun , exciting and that will create memories that will last forever. Our young people are decision makers and they are involved in the design, planning and implementation of programmes and activities

The North Ayrshire and Arran District organise a District camp every two years for all young people (both male and female) who attend Scouting organisations. Young people range in ages from 6yrs up to 25yr. 

The next camp will take place in June 2025 from a Friday afternoon to late Sunday afternoon.

During this time, young people will participate in indoor and outdoor activities with others from across the District. Some young people will camp outdoors while others will stay inside in dormitories or hobbit huts.

Over the weekend, they will take part in a variety of activities, the vast majority being outdoors, whatever the weather! In the past, activities have included:

Archery

Orienteering/geocaching

Crafts

Backwoods cooking

Den building

Late night Hike and Camp Fire

Kayaking

Low ropes/high ropes

Rafting

During camp we will provide everyone with all of their meals, as well as snacks including fruit and hot and cold drinks through the day.

our prodject is primarilly to help pupils learn new skills and develop leadership skills before they leave school and have oppertunitys to work with other pupils as a team.

 this is to spread the cost between materials,manudfacturing process and also products. this money is also to help with future events takeing place and to fund our community project where we build benches and mud kitches for schools,busisnesses and also a big one we completed in the last year is going round all the care homes in the three towns and donating ,flower pots , benches , memorial benches ect. we also plan do used recycled materials and waste from other projects to help the enviroment. We hope you consider our proposal thank you, ACE ( admin,enterprise,craft).
