Today 60 young people (plus siblings and parents!) took part in the 58th JOTA today. We had 24 Beavers, 25 Cubs, 8 Scouts and 3 Explorers talk over the radio airwaves to other Scout groups they also tried out Morse code machines too! Great fun was had by all and a huge thank you goes to the West Kent Amateur Radio Society for spending the whole day with us.
We even managed a few conversations as part of JOTI (Jamboree on the internet), including contacting someone from Borneo and Malta. We will be a bit more organised on that front next year.
“Every young person deserves an adventure” & that is what 30 4th Sevenoaks Cubs did today at Lower Grange Farm the Kent Scout HQ! Climbing, Zorbing, pedal carting & much more. Thanks to all the parents, leaders and young leaders that gave up their afternoon.
Testing out Human Hungry Hippos was the final activity for Greatness Cubs this term and was thoroughly enjoyed by all cubs, two scouts, and two young leaders. Even one leader had a go too! As well as enjoying themselves, they learnt how to tie and use a bowline and a figure of eight knot.
Further ‘testing’ will take place at Cubs’ Summer Camp.
We have opened an account with easyfundraising.co.uk
This lets us take a percentage of your online spending back from the retailers you visit – it does not cost you any extra.
Unlike other schemes, this one is almost totally painless (and I am one who usually ignores this type of thing). There is a full explanation of how it works on the easyfundraising page under resources on the web-site.
Hundreds of main-stream retailers take part in the scheme. Here is a sample or go and see the full list on the easyfundraising website
The beavers and cubs had their Halloween party last night, and what a gruesome gathering it was!
Despite the fearsome sight, the ghouls set aside their differences and enjoyed a selection of party games including the now-traditional bobbing for chocolate in flour.
