Scout & Guide

Whether you've been in Scouting or Guiding for years, or never even heard of them, if you have a passion for camping, the great outdoors and trying new challenges, LUUSAG may be the club for you!

LUUSAG (Leeds University Union Scouts and Guides), is affiliated with SSAGO, the National Student Scout and Guide Organisation. We provide opportunities for likeminded students from all higher education institutes in Leeds to continue or grow their interest in Scouting, Guiding and all that these organisations entail. The society runs like a Scout Network group, through informal meetings and attendance at national events, but we are also able to connect you to local Scout and Guide units if you would like to volunteer during your time at university.

Socials

A normal semester in LUUSAG would consist of two socials weekly – one, a chilled pub lunch in Old Bar, and the other a varying activity. Unsurprisingly, this year is slightly different to any before it, so many of our socials will be moving online.

Currently, we are meeting as a society every Tuesday at 7:30pm for a range of virtual social events, from online board games and scavenger hunts to origami and cordial making. For up all the latest updates from LUUSAG, including events and socials, please head to our Facebook group.

SSAGO also has an extremely active Discord server, with channels on almost any topic you can think of (badges from home, LGBTQ+, Animal Crossing, arts and craft, get active and the list goes on).

SSAGO Events

Teams around the country are working on this year’s national events, including alternative plans if in-person events aren’t authorised.

SSAGO run three national rallies (weekend-long camps) annually.  LUUSAG attended this year’s first rally, which was hosted virtually by Southampton in November. The next national event is ‘Green Rally Yellow Rally’ in March 2021, hosted by a group of friends from universities around the country (including our own Secretary, Harriet). We are still crossing our fingers for an in-person rally in Wales in the summer.

There is also an annual ball, which is an opportunity to trade in our hoodies and hiking boots for dresses, suits and ties for a night. This year’s ball has unfortunately been postponed until Autumn 2021.
