Group AGM |
|
|
|
| The Group held their AGM during a barbecue on Friday 13th June 2008.
The folk that gathered were introduced to the leadership team, and
reports of finances and the two existing sections showed that although a
small Group, they were in great shape. There was a hope that they'd be
able to find the leaders to reopen the Beaver Colony. The new Leaders
were introduced and had already had an impact by putting together a
web
site for the Group, never mind strengthening the programme for the
Cubs and Scouts. Doc was presented with a loaded digital photo frame in
recognition of his 60 years in Scouting! Not many can lay claim to a
figure like that! Here
are some photos. |

|

| In May/June the Scouts set about
completing the Climbers Badge. Under the leadership of 1st Winnersh GSL,
Jez Burden, and Phoenix Explorer Leader Keith Gambles, 1st Winnersh and
3rd Wokingham Scouts did a couple of evenings' theory before going to
Earleywood to put some of the lessons learnt into practice.
Here are a few photos. |

| On Saturday 18th August, the Pack
went off to Islwyn Scout Parc Camp Site, Newbridge in Gwentfor four days
of action packed fun. Activities included archery, rock climbing, a
guided tour around a coal mine, not to mention a visit to a castle and
museum in Abergavenny. There was also a dragons' picnic on a hill top
with a few views and a go at building shelters from natural materials in
the nearby forest. There are just a few photos
here. |

Leader Vacancies |
|
|
|
|
New Leaders are always welcome, but what the Group would really like
to do is to reopen the Beaver Colony, so they are looking for
enthusiastic young people and mums to join them. Training is offered,
but enthusiasm to match that of 6 and 7 year olds is what is paramount.
And you can have just as much fun as these young people.
Do come and talk to us, or you can reach us by e-mail at
info@wokinghamscouts.org.uk or you can phone on
07092 807 586
which will put you through to the
Berkshire Opportunities Help Desk answer phone. Be sure to leave your name
and contact details. Or fill in a form at this
page. |
