Kestrels' Autumn |
|
|
Here
are one or two photos of Kestrels activities taken during the Autumn
term of 2007, including the Cubs that carved pumpkins for Halloween, a
visit of the Pack to
SEBEV (South East Berkshire Volunteers) and another of the team that
represented the Pack at the District Cooking Competition in November
(more pictures on the Cubs
page).
During the Halloween meeting the pack also invested no fewer than seven
new Cubs. Well done guys! That visit to SEBEV allowed us to have a look
at (and try out) a number of different types of stretcher, have a look
around their emergency van and even try out their "Rat Run", where they
practice finding victims in the dark. Another evening
during the autumn had a visit from Hurst Morris People and Akela
captured a few
photos. |

The Group Celebrate Scouting's
Sunrise
|
|
|
The Group celebrated Scouting's 100th anniversary
literally at sunrise in St Catherine's Field on 1st August. A bit
chilly, so there was a blazing camp fire and some energetic songs lead
by Andrew and Fiona, the leaders of our Cub Packs. The Beavers renewed
their promise lead by Alison, the Cubs followed and then everyone else
who had at some stage been in the movement joined the Troop to renew
theirs. After that it was time for a cooked breakfast and time to thaw
out a bit. Here are
one or two photographs, but if you have a good one, just pass it to the
webmaster! Afterwards, a number of those present went to Wokingham
Town Centre to join the rest of the District for the
worldwide celebration at 8AM
(local time). |

Leader Vacancies |
|
|
|
As 1st Woosehill vies with one or two other groups for the title “largest in
the County” it inevitably has a pretty steady turnover in leaders, and a
pretty broad range of opportunities, so we are ever on the lookout for
leaders in all three age ranges (Beavers, Cubs and Scouts). Each age range
offers a different challenge and has different needs from their leaders and
so will suit different people. But with meetings on more than one night, we
can usually find a role that suits an individual’s diary. Indeed for those
of us who have very busy diaries, there are other “behind the scenes” roles
which also help to enable a fun and challenging environment for young people
to help them grow into a role in the modern world we live in today.
If you are considering the possibility of joining our team, please
e-mail us for a
"No Obligation" chat. Should you join us, you will not be "thrown in
at the deep end" or on your own. We have a strong group with excellent
support from our Executive Committee who are dedicated to providing the
resources and facilities to develop the young people of our area. Come
and join our team, you will be made very welcome.
Having recently suspended a Scout Troop, due to a shortage of leaders,
the Group are particularly keen to recruit leaders to the Scout Section. |
