We Need You!

We Need You (Wide 2)

The group needs your help to keep it running.

In particular we are looking for

  • adult help with Beavers and Cubs – every now and again or regularly
  • someone to look after hall bookings
  • someone to organise some fund raising for a big project.
  • a handyman (or handywoman) to take care of some minor repairs
  • someone to run a second hand uniform shop

If you think you could help please talk to any of the unit leaders or use the Volunteer link on the front page of the website.

Merry Christmas!

Can we wish everyone involved in Scouting at the 4th

A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Without the time and efforts of the young people, parents and adult volunteers Scouting would not happen,

so thank you for joining in.

Here’s to a great 2014

Gathering of Ghouls!

IMG_5541_1080x419

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.

The evening ended with a nice selection of party food and a test-run of our new popcorn machine!

Beavers bring their parents to their picnic

The beavers had an end of term picnic in the scout grounds on Wednesday. It was a perfect still evening and the grounds were in fantastic condition.

Goodbye to Daisy, Imogen and Courtney, who are leaving us for cubs. For everyone else, see you all again next term!

“The Minecrafters” win the quiz [updated]

The group held its first quiz night on Saturday with twelve teams competing for glory. In the end four teams finished within a few points of the lead, with “the Minecrafters” narrowly taking the victory.  The winning score was an impressive 49.5 out of 65.

Some of the scouts made cakes for the quiz – Matthew’s “Scout cakes” were particularly impressive.
