Woodcraft Folk around SE London?

[Psychomumma]

I'm interested in people's opinions about Woodcraft Folk (for my 6.5 yr old). She loves crafty/making things, outside stuff etc, but is quite shy, so it takes her a while to make friends.

Also: how much does it cost?

Also! I'm aware the Woodcraft Folk is non-religious, which is fine, as long as they are fine with us being Catholic, if that makes sense! Anyone with any experience of that - thoughts welcome.

We live in Peckham; their website says they have groups in Lambeth and Beckenham/Bromley. Any significant differences? Lambeth would be nearer us, but I'm thinking that Beckenham might have more access to outside space, being further from the centre of town... But that's just my assumption.

Thanks!

We tried the Beckenham one about a year ago. They are very nice but my 2 boys didn't like it because it was quite "schooly". They have a special "promise" which they have to recite out loud...all about loving the earth etc; which mine absolutely hated

It's very like brownies/cubs but, if your dd is ok with that sort of thing why don't you ring them and go along for a try-out?
We only went to about 3 or 4 and they didn't charge me so I can't help with costs but I don't think it was too expensive.

As she's shy, you could tell them you'd like to stay until she's more confident (if you want to)...they were only too pleased for extra helping hands.

P.S.
They seem to be quite used to HomeEd kids going there too. We met 2 or 3 of them when we went.
