Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers – time to start collecting

active kids

It’s that time of year again. The voucher scheme starts this week!!

Please get all your family and friends to collect Active Kids vouchers from Sainsburys – we can get lots of free stuff if you bring them in to us over the next few months.  With a smaller membership please bring them to us instead of school as the schools have hundreds to collect from – we have much less!!

Scouts – Winter camp

Final details re payment etc for winter camp are now available in the camps section. Please get payments and forms back on time.

Also, Easter camp is being shortened (will now be 4 days/3 nights) so that it is less daunting to some of our newer members and will be at a more local camp site. Next year will be back to a full week and in Swansea.

More details re Easter will be on the website by next weekend.

Great turnout for Remembrance Parade!!

A big thank you to everyone that took part in the parade and came to support the group as they paraded. The weather was very kind to us – especially after all the wind and rain we had yesterday. We had over 55 beavers, cubs and scouts on show!

Scout Monopoly Run

10 scouts enjoyed a great day in London “playing Monopoly” – and eating M&Ms!!

After a sleepover at the HQ on Friday night we travelled into London and then split into groups to roll the dice and then scouts took it in turns to navigate the group to the place on the Monopoly Board. Depending on the distance to travel scouts either walked, took a bus or went on the tube.

Good job we all had a extra hours sleep on Saturday – as everyone was exhausted by the time we got home!!  Although some managed a cat nap on the bus!!
