Guide and Scout groups at prisons

By MUe | Published: October 3, 2012

Two Mothers’ Union members in Scotland initiated and lead a Guide and Scout group for children and young people visiting in prison, with both groups taking place at the prison visitor centre.

These two members have gathered together a band of 25 volunteers to make this possible.

They have a Rainbow group running each week too (for younger age groups), which is proving popular. Each week they pick a different theme, food, health, etc, and all the play is within these themes.

“We hope and pray that our actions will contribute to making the time children and families spend a worthwhile, enriching experience”

  • An Inspired idea:
    Engaged couples add their names and the date of their wedding to a prayer tree so that members can then pray for them.

  • Feedback on Inspired

    "Looking through the Inspired pages I really was ‘inspired’ to read about the variety of activities with which Mothers’ Union members are involved; some of them really simple so that even the smallest branches could take them on.

    Just imagine if every branch was ‘inspired’ to take up one thing – what an impact that would have!"
