ADC Squirrels is to work in partnership with the District Commissioner to ensure that effective operation of Hedgehogs in their District in accordance with the rules as laid down in POR of The Scout Association.

In 2018/2019 Tynemouth Scouts ran a pilot for Early Year Provision for 4-6 year olds, with us opening one of the first “Hedgehog” sections.

In August 2020 The Board of Trustees approved the launch of Hedgehogs, but with a delayed start. We at Tynemouth Scouts are delighted that we were chosen as one of the Districts to run an extend pilot for the Early Year Provision.
