All sections have been enjoying the Summer term and holding some of their meetings at Buckmore Park.

Last Night, the Beavers did some tracking whilst the Cubs build camp fires and cooked sausages and marshmallows (not together, obviously!)

Later, the Scouts and Explorers Scouts cooked three courses of Kebabs on fires – a meaty kebab, a vegatable kebab and finally a desert kebab consisting of strawberries, bannana and marshmallows.

We also said goodbye to a Scout who had come up through the Beavers and Cubs to the Scouts – he’s mowing to Essex and hopes to be able to continue his Scouting at the Salvation Army Scout Group in Basildon.

The Scouts went on Patrol camps to Downe Scout Activity centre over the May day bank holiday weekend.

The Scouts had prepared their own equipment, written their own menus and shopping lists and camped as Patrols for the weekend.

The weather was really good and everyone had a good time – I’m sure they’re all looking forward to putting the equipment away at the next Scout meeting.

As the dark nights draw in it’s a great oppourtunity for the Scouts and Explorers to do some activities at Buckmore Park.

Last week, they did a mini incident hike around the park using some great ideas provided in Scouting Magazine.

All Sections hve started woking towards the Group Environment Award.

Over the last few weeks, the Beavers and Cubs have been reusing things – during the first week, they made useful things from one weeks recycling. This included a telephone, a model space ship and a snakes and ladders game. The Beaver and Cub team that were judged to have produced the best work were given some fair trade chocolate.

The following the Beavers and Cubs put on a fashion show using clothes that were ready to be recycled.

The Scouts and Explorers have started planning for a short video about how making a small change can make the world a better place. Some intial filming has been done but there is a lot work left to be done before the film movie is available to view.
