Our Young People
Rainbows,
Brownies & Guides
 Rainbows for girls aged five to
seven meet on Monday afternoons from 4.15 p.m. for games, making things, singing
songs, and lots more. They began in September 1999.
We have a thriving Brownie Pack
at St Augustine’s, which meets at 6.00 on Monday
evenings in the Meeting Room. Brownies follow a programme
of activities geared to having fun, learning, and helping
those around us. The number of Brownies at any one time
has to be limited.
Starting from January 1999, our parish now has our own
Guide Company for girls aged 10-14.
Meetings are on Wednesday evenings from 7.00-8.30 in the
Meeting Room.
Beavers, Cubs
& Scouts
Our parish Beaver Scout
Colony is open to children aged 6 and 7; they meet on
Thursday afternoons from 4.150 in the parish hall.
Our parish Cub Scout Pack is open to children aged 8 -
10, and meets on Thursday evenings from 6.00. Our
Scout Troop is open to children aged 10 - 14, and meets
on Thursday evenuings from 8.00. By our sponsorship
agreement with the District Scout Executive, membership
is restricted to children who regularly worship at St
Augustine's Church.
Youth Groups
 Our
parish groups for young people at secondary school were
set up in November 1996 after our first youth trip to
Thorpe Park. The group
meet fortnightly in the Parish Hall after the Sunday
evening Mass, from 6.45-8.15.
Besides these evening youth groups, special events are
organised each term - an annual trip to Thorpe Park or Chessington, outings for karting, abseiling and high
ropes, bowling, and much more besides. See the notice
board in the porch, and the special leaflets, for
details, and keep an eye on the newsletter each Sunday.
 Annual
Parish
Youth
Trip
At St Augustine’s, our
young people at secondary school are a vital part of our
parish community. We would like you to be as involved as
possible - and you are always warmly welcome! There are
nearly 200 teenagers at Mass at St Augustine’s every
Sunday. There is no greater challenge to any young person
than to be a real Catholic Christian, but you will not be
alone if you try!
Need to Talk
?
There are times when young people really need someone
to talk to about a problem or things they’re
thinking about: someone outside of your family, someone
who you know will say nothing about it to anyone else and
think nothing less of you whatever you have to say. The
priests are always available for you. Never hesitate to
ask. Come alone, or with a friend, or as a group. Just
ask. We are always here for you.
