61ST DONCASTER (BENTLEY) AIR SCOUT GROUP 

Air Scouts prepares young people with skills - helping them speak up and play their part. Each week scouting nationally gives almost Half a million people aged 6-25 the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life. As an R.A.F. recognized Group we include an Air Badge scheme.
