3rd Hampton Scout Group

Scouts return this Friday 5th September,

Beavers start back on Wednesday 10th September and

Cubs start back on Thursday 11th September.

Also don’t forget to come down the HQ this week to collect some programmes to sell in advance of the Transport Gala this Sunday, and to come and help on Saturday morning selling programmes around Hampton as well as on the day itself.

We need help from adults and cubs/scouts/beavers etc to sell programmes on the day between 10am and 5pm. We also need help from the cubs, scouts and adults in helping clean up afterwards – as the saying goes “many hands make light work!!”

Thank you

Just a quick note to say that we will start back next term on Friday 5th September – so that we can plan for the Transport Gala (7th September) as we need help from everyone (cubs, scouts and parents) to help us raise as much money as possible!!

There will also be some work to do on the HQ over the summer trimming the trees etc – so when you see the notes please come on down and help out!!

Have a good summer!!

On the back of the excellent feedback we received from last weekend just thought I’d let you know that we’ve booked the camp for 2015 – for the weekend of 19th – 21st June 2015!!

Put the date in your diaries – details re location and estimated costs etc will be added to the Camp section of the website very soon.

Looking forward to a bigger and better event next year at a different camp site with some different activities as well as some old favourites.

Pkease keep the photos from last weekend coming through.

Thanks to everyone that took part so enthusiastically this weekend at our family camp at Phasels Wood. 26 familes, leaders and helpers made a total of over 100 campers, most arriving on Friday night for a weekend of fun and friendship!!

Please keep sending your photos through – some are already on Flickr but looking forward to more arriving (will even have some video of some of the camp fire skits).

Roll on 2015 – will get the date out soon so you can keep the diary free!!

Please see details of our AGM (in the News section). Please come along and find out what is happening at the Group and how you can help. If you need the password speak to your section leader.

We’d love to see all of you there on Friday 27th June.

Below is a link to a youtube video advertising the Hampton Transport Gala which is happening on 7th September.

3rd Hampton is one of the charities that will benefit from the money raised from the souvenir programmes and the group will be fully involved in the event by selling programmes before and at the event and with cubs, scouts and families assisting in the clean up afterwards.

The money raised will be used to enlarge and develop the kitchen at our HQ. The plan is to make the kitchen twice the size and with “proper” catering equipment in there i.e. stainless steel work surfaces, large cooker, etc., etc. – this will mean that we will be able to do some serious catering and hold more events at the HQ.

Watch out for my emails re involvement in the event, we expect all the beavers, cubs and scouts and their families to get involved and help as well as to spread the word and get as many family and friends to come down to what will be a very busy day and to buy the souvenir programmes!!
