Welcome to MSAGM Aber SSAGO!

SOCIETY OF THE YEAR 2023/24

Aber SSAGO serves Scouting and Guiding to students of Aberystwyth University. We have been running since 2004 and run a wide variety of activities including camping, walks, crafts, BBQ's, film nights and more.  Additionally we aim to support students in finding leadership roles with local Scout and Guide units, so they can help the local units to keep Scouting and Guiding alive in Aberystwyth and provide the Scouting and Guiding experience to today's children. We also run many events and fundraisers throughout the year to provide a Scouting and Guiding experience to students.

Aber SSAGO is part of a national organisation which links Scouts and Guides from universities across the UK. Each year there are 4 national events; three camps called rallies, and a ball. We attend as many of these national SSAGO events as possible and have great fun in doing so. 

We welcome all students from Aberystwyth University to join us for weekly events and camps spread throughout the year - you don't have to be a Scout or Guide to join us! You will make many great friends and have a brilliant time.

Meet the Committee

 
Charlotte Bankes

President: Charlotte Bankes

Hi, I am Lottie, and I’m going to be your President for the next year!  I'll be managing the society and making sure we have a great time on all the events we go on. I'm currently a Masters student and this is my second year as President.  I’m originally a Guide from Gloucestershire, and I still help at a unit back home, while also running 3 units here at university! I love a good camp and exploring the local (and not so local) area in my free weekends. Since starting University, I have also become a Scout and Explorer Leader in Montgomeryshire.

Treasurer: Hannah Peacock

Hi, I’m Hannah and I’m going to be your treasurer this year! I'll be in charge of managing the society’s finances, as well as helping run lots of fun events. I’m a second year maths student. I love camping and exploring the outdoors.

 
Jenny Thyer

Secretary: Heather Walker

Hi, I am Heather, and I’m going to be your Secretary for the next year! As secretary, I'll be sending out lots of emails, as well as taking care of general admin. I'm currently a second year language student, studying French and Italian. I’m originally a guide/ ranger from North Yorkshire, who took a short hiatus from the guiding world before joining SSAGO at university. I enjoy camping, although don't always prove to be too skilled at it, especially after tipping up to freshers camp with a child's sleeping bag! - hopefully I'll have better luck this time round!

 

William Burrows

Vice-President: Lauren Martin

Hi I’m Lauren and I’m taking on vice president this year! I’ll be supporting Lottie as well as the rest of the group throughout what will hopefully be a great year for SSAGO. I’m currently in my second year of maths but this is my first time on committee. I can’t wait to show those of you who don’t have much or any guide/scouting history that you can have just as much fun in this society as everyone else! You will catch me outside in all sorts of weather despite never ever being prepared for it! Fingers crossed by the end of this year I will have mastered how to put up a tent and be able to pass on my job as lamp post job

 
Lin-ay Davila

Quartermaster: Ace Willetts

Hi, I’m Ace and I will be your Quartermaster this year.

 

National SSAGO

Nationwide SSAGO events are a brilliant way to keep the adventurous side of you alive. Each year there three rallies. Hosted by other SSAGOs they provide a meeting point for all SSAGOs to camp and participate in loads of different activities, from pub crawls to rock climbing! You pick the activities you want to do! Not forgetting the themes - each rally has its own theme and evening shenanigans are arranged around it!

This year the three rallys are going to be held by Leeds, Team Pink and Nottingham SSAGO Groups, all themed around a different thing, find out more on: https://ssago.org/

The Annual Ball each March/April also provides a nationwide attraction for SSAGOs. An amazing three course dinner followed by the ball itself. Packages are also available for various costs to stay the night. Enjoy the food, entertainment and explore the town. This years Ball will be run by Nottingham SSAGO.

National SSAGO are also asked to help run national Scouting events such Isle of Wight Revolution, or Gillwell Wintercamp, and Guiding events such as Wellies and Wristbands. Find out more about National at on their website and Facebook:
