Who are we?

Sutton Coldfield Adventure Unit (SCAU) was formed in January 2013 with 65 children. We now have over 200 children and over 50 volunteer.  SCAU is a non-denominational group with a wide appeal to children from a number of different schools across Sutton Coldfield. 

Hydra, Lynx & Orion

SCAU is split into three sections, Hydra (7-10 years), Lynx (10-14 years) and Orion (14-18 years).  All three sections meet on  Friday night and usually meet at the following locations:-
  • Hydra meet between 6:15pm and 7:30pm at Holy Trinity Catholic Church Hall
  • Lynx meet between 7;45pm and 9:15pm at Holy Trinity Catholic Church Hall
  • Orion meets between 8pm and 10pm at Bishop Walsh School.

Leaders

Our Leaders have loads of experience working with children - some of us have been Scout leaders in the past and we also have a number of teachers as leaders.  We are all volunteers but we take our roles seriously. All leaders are DBS checked and undergo first aid training and Safeguard training as a minimum. Where required, additional training is taken to ensure we are fully insured to run activities.

What do we do?

We run a wide range of activities which include:-
  • Archery
  • Air rifle shooting
  • Survival skills
  • Indoor and outdoor games focused on building confidence, leadership and communication skills
  • Cooking themed activities such as Ready, Steady Cook.
  • First Aid - We are a 'Heart Start' provider
  • Orienteering
  • Mountain Biking - we have 12 mountain bikes.
  • Camping at least three times a year (including a cycle camp)
  • City visits (in 2015 we slept on HMS Belfast)
  • International Trips (Spain in 2014, 2016 and 2018)
  • .......and lots lots more !

At the heart of everything we do..............

At the core of everything we do is the aim to Inspire, Challenge and Engage children.
  • Inspire them to go that extra mile or take that extra step.  
  • Challenge them to exceed even their own expectations. 
  • To get children Engaged in activities outside of their home and family.
