who are we

The Student Scout And Guide Society (SSAGS) is perhaps one of the friendliest societies at Cardiff University and surrounding higher education establishments.

Affiliated to both the Scout and Guide movements, we offer students with or without any previous Scouting or Guiding experience a chance to meet other students who share similar interests and make new friends.

More of a large social group of friends than the traditional Scouting and Guiding movements, our programme tends to be very social with an influence from these organisations.

events and activities

We tend to meet once a week on an informal basis with the nights we meet on varying in order to accomodate as many people as possible as many have other commitments than SSAGS alone.

There are the usual events such as pub quiz, bowling, pool night and climbing throughout the year along with the regular events on the SSAGS calendar. Regular events include freshers camp, Christmas meal, winter camp and end of term BBQ with more being added as flashes of inspiration strike the exec.

As part of the national Student Scout and Guide Organisation (SSAGO) we also attend the national Rallies which are organised by the various clubs across the UK. Rally is held in the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms and always prove to be a great weekend albeit slightly tiring on occassions.

We are also able to give our members the chance to maintain their links with Scouting and Guiding through our extensive contacts within the area and helping throughout the sections.
