Roving Scarf 2014

The Roving Scarf is back for the Summer of 2014. Take your scarf on holiday or for a day trip, photograph it and ask your parent/guardian to email a copy to rovingscarf at gmail dot com (without the spaces and replace the words with the appropriate symbol!) and we will feature your pictures on this blog.

 Last year the scarf travelled far and wide, where will it go this time?

Bobcats host our AGM

Our thanks to Bobcats Scout Troop for hosting our Annual General Meeting last night.

After the short formalities of reviewing our Annual Report and Accounts (great photos inside! - there are still copies available in our foyer), the Scouts described the many adventurous activities they have been involved with over the last year.

This was followed by a film show of just some of our highlights.

Congratulations then went to 3 worthy Scouts who were presented wih their Chief Scout's Gold Award.

The leaders were not forgotten with recognition of training completed.

And long service awards.

How many years Jim? ;)

AGM this Friday

Looking forward to our AGM this Friday at 8pm and having sight of the Annual Report of our activities over this last year...

 

 

Try Dive 2 - The Return

Another fantastic day's diving.

Our thanks again go to 2Dive4 who took our Scouts, Young Leaders and Leaders for a try dive at John Warner pool.

Photos have been added to our website.

 

St.George

Many thanks to all of you who turned out today to celebrate St. George's day.

The older members of the group spent several hours, before the parade, out and about helping the community. They painted, cleaned and litter picked at the Priory, playground and skate park. They helped dredge the waterway and make Ware a cleaner and smarter place.

The Cubs participated in a service at Christ Church, Church, whilst the Beavers were involved in their own event at Christ Church School. Both then joined with the Scouts and the rest of the District to parade down the high street and onto the Priory.

Here we renewed out promises and the results of the Peter Geer trophy were announced. This year we came 4th. This award is given for the percentage of young people attending District events. Peter Geer, an ex-3rd Ware Leader strongly believed, that all young people, not just a select few, should have the opportunity to join in and try out activities, a philosophy still held dear to 3rd Ware. Participation is key, winning is great and always welcome, but joining in is what matters!

The afternoon ended with our annual whole group photo in front of the Priory.

Ware Dickensian

A big thank you to all who donated, assisted and supported our stall at the Ware Dickensian Night.  A total of £660 was raised for the Group funds.  It was also good fun.

Remembrance Parade

Details of the Remembrance Day parade were emailed to Scout age and above. Please make every effort to attend. Clean smart uniform and shoes required and a poppy. Everyone else welcome to support the parade en route or at the laying of the wreaths.
