Cream teas during the Ware town raft race

For the past three years, the Gambia committee of the Scout Group have raised money to support our twin Group in Medina Sering Mass by running refreshments during the raft race. Leaders and parents kindly donate lots of scones and cakes and they are sold before, during and after the race. The people from HELPING also have their stall to raise some funds for their work.

After getting everything ready and before the rush

Cutting cakes and getting the stall ready

A lovely spread of cakes!

Many thanks to all that supported us again. The final amount raised is not yet finalised but we are going to replace Scout uniforms and scarves for our Scouts.

Gosling Park fun rings

For their last meeting of term, Falcon pack went over to Gosling to try out the fun rings. Heron pack had been there before and had recommended the activity we went to give it a go!

It's great fun going down!

 

 

But hard work going back up!

 

Even better with a whole group going down at once!

 

 

The evening was great fun and everyone had a good time. Remember to take gloves if we go again...........

 

 



Tolmers Cub Activity Evening

Some of the Falcon Cubs attended the recent activity evening at Tolmers campsite. The queues were very long but they managed to go on the trampolines, Rope-a-Phobia and water wars to name a few. They all enjoyed what activities they were able to do.

 

 

Falcon Pack at the Park

Falcon Pack have been working towards the Navigator badge. The final requirement was to go on a short hike using an OS map. So we navigated our way to the park!

 

We all had a great time playing on the equipment until the end of the meeting!

District Cub fun run

This week was the District Cub fun run at Rigery Farm. There was a good turnout from 3rd Ware and both Packs did well in the run.
For the first time ever, it rained before the event started but fortunately it didn't rain for long and the Cubs set off on schedule.

After a short wait the results were announced and Herons were 3rd and Falcons 5th. A good result all round.
Well done to the Gambia Committee as well, who sold the refreshments and raised £200 for new uniforms for our Twin group in Medina Sering Mass.

Scouts' Water Activity Weekend

The Scouts had a fantastic time last weekend at the ESSA water activity centre.

Delivery to The Gambia 2015

We have received some photos of the delivery of much needed mosquito nets and tents for our friends at Medina Sering Mass.  This was provided from our fundraising in 2014.

 

More photos are available on our website here.

 

This boy is the only one that could put the tent together and had to show them all.
