3rd Hampton Scout Group

As you can see from the first of the photos received we had a really strong turnout today – over 60% of the group – if you were one of the many taking similar photos please email them to Nigel so we can print the best one for the Gallery…

On a separate note there are still some tickets available for the panto – so get your requests in ASAP before they sell out.

3rd Hampton Scout Group will be participating in the Remembrance Day parade and service on Sunday, 8th November, in Hampton.

All our members are expected to take part in this important event. Please refer to the recent emails from your section leader for full details

Details also available in the News section of this website.

After the parade we will also be taking a group photo (like last year) and if there are any parents with “photographic tendencies” we would love someone to take some photos with a quality camera!! Please let your section leader know if you can help.

The weather was great, the marquee was a big hit and the Jumble managed to, yet again, raise over £3,000 towards group funds.

Many thanks to all those that helped on the day and in the build up and clearing away.

The next Jumble is on March 19th 2016 – and it would be great to have even more help from the parents as we were a little stretched this year in the build up and clearing away on the day. It would be great if every family could help for even just a few hours either on the day or in the build up – it takes a lot of time to sort out the jumble that comes in…..

60ft x 20ft – in all its glory!!

Thank you Aviva!

The new term is starting – Scouts started on Friday, Beavers starts on Wednesday 9th September and Cubs on 10th September. New information about scout camps and events has been posted in the camps and news/dates for the diary sections.

As mentioned at the AGM we are the beneficiaries of a fund raising quiz night to be held at Hampton Social Club on Friday 28th August – 8pm for an 8.30pm start. Teams of maximum 5 adults, £5 entry per team. Quiz finishes at 10.30pm.

There will also be a raffle.

Please contact Nigel to let him know if you are coming and if you are able to donate some raffle prizes.

It would be great to have lots of teams there so we can raise lots of money for the kitchen redevelopment.

Date is booked June 24th – 26th…  More information on the location and the likely activities/costs will be out in the camps section before the end of this month.

We will be introducing you to another camp site and some new activities….

Everyone should by now had time to recover from a fantastic weekend at Chalfont Heights. 27 families, 107 campers, 12 Leaders and PULSE members in the “Service Crew” all had a fun, if tiring weekend in the sun (mostly!)

Photos are trickling through – but would be great to get more, those sent to date are on Flickr and a few below.

Dates for next year will be out soon……..
