The official Student Scout and Guide Organisation (SSAGO) for UWE
Welcome to UWE SSAGO!
Our society is a part of the larger Student Scouts and Guide Organisation (SSAGO) which has groups across the country at many different universities. Contrary to the name you don't need to have had any previous involvement in Scouts or Guides to Join us and SSAGO is a good place to start your Journey
We aim to provide members with a variety of activities from quiz nights on Frenchay Campus, going out around the city and community and National events. Please come along to one of our sessions to find out more about what we will be up to this semester!
Our usual sessions are alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays between 6 pm and 8 pm around Frenchay Campus. The sessions include a variety of things like hikes, film nights, trips out and working towards badges. We do also participate in national events (Rally, Ball and camps) which at typically on the weekends and will be listed in our semester Schedule. We do have Instagram, Discord and WhatsApp Community.
A Rally is a national camp, held once every term (3 each academic year), where SSAGO groups around the UK meet up to join in activities, have adventures and make new friends. Each Rally has a theme chosen by the host club, which is typically linked to the activities, and is the basis of the optional fancy dress Competition.
Each year, 1 SSAGO club will host a ball for all members, offering a formal sit-down meal, dancing and a chance to see other members outside of the mud and camping clothes. Much like the Rallies, they are themed and include activities to make the event a weekend trip!
Nope! It's never too late to join us and we do offer your first 2 sessions free before we ask for you to purchase a membership. We do ask after this that you purchase a membership as this helps pay for things like the neckers and badges as well as more fun events. Anyone can join and you do not need to have any prior experience in Scouting or Guiding before.
