3rd Hampton Scout Group

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!!

Final information will be available after the bank holiday – please take note of all the final details and return the health/contact information ASAP, ideally well before the camp.

Also, if you haven’t paid the balance of your camp fees please do so ASAP.

Any queries please contact Nigel

Many thanks to all of you that have brought the vouchers in – we have collected a lot so far – but they are still being given out until 20th May – so plenty more to collect yet!!

Please make sure that you collect as many as you can from family, friends and neighbours and bring them into us by Friday 20th June – as we have limited time to count them, order the equipment and send the vouchers in.
