Kibbo Kift - Woodcraft Folk 75 Years

Woodcraft Folk's direct antecedent was the the Kibbo Kift (later known as Green shirts) an organisation led by ex-Scout Commissioner for Woodcraft and Camping John Hargrave, who had broken with what he considered to be the Scouts' miltaristic approach in the years immediately after WW1. Woodcraft Folk was established by Leslie Paul in 1925 after the south London co-operative groups challenged Hargrave's authoritarian tendencies over his refusal to recognise a local group called "The Brockley Thing" and broke away from the Kindred.

HILLINGDON WOODCRAFT FOLK Cirac 1980s

Hillingdon Woodcraft meets every Tuesday evening during term time at the Uxbridge Centre, Greenway, Uxbridge, from 6.15pm-to-7.45 pm. -

At the moment we have an Elfin Group for 6 to 9 year olds and we hope to start a Pioneer Group for 10 to 13 year olds which will be run at the same time.

Our evenings consist of project work on subjects such as the environment, internationalism and cooperation and we play non-competitve games, do country dancing and usually round off the
session with some folk singing.

We have several ramps a year which are usually held in conjunction with other districts and organise walks and outings throughout the year.

We love to welcome all children but in order to organise our sessions, plan programmes and do fundraising, parent participation is essential.

The more parents are involved the less responsibility falls on each individual and all the children benefit from the variety of ideas put into tha group.
