4th Medway Scout Group

Way back in October, some of the Beavers prepared gifts for others as part of the Blythewood trust Shoe box appeal.

Beavers, Cubs Scouts  and Explorers all start back on Monday 7th January at the usual times.

On Sunday, 21st October, some of our Scouts and Explorer Scouts visited London for the day.We took the train to Blackheath and walked through Greenwich park to the National Maritime Museum. After that, we took the Thames Clipper to Tower Pier and walked across Tower Bridge to HMS Belfast.  

We had lunch at a restaurant near to HMS Belfast and then walked along the South bank to the London Eye. Click on the picture above to see more of what we got up to.

A few weeks ago, the Scouts and Explorers were at Buckmore Park and did some backwards cooking.They took a Brown Trout, wrapped it in several layers of wet newspaper, tied it up with some string and put it in the embers of a fire…

After 30 minutes, it was ready – and tasted very nice!  - Click on the photo to see more.

On Monday night, the Beavers went to Buckmore Park. They played some games and also made shelters for some smaller beavers. The shelters had to protect the small beavers from wind and rain. Click on the picture below to see the shelters buing built and the smaller beavers in the shelters.

For more information on shelter building, try the Scout Notebook on Shelters.

This Monday, 24th September, we are going to Buckmore Park again. The confusion last week was caused by the Security Manager having changed his mobile phone number over the summer, so although we had booked to go, as you will all remember, we couldn’t get in!Meet at the usual times in the car park behind the Sports Centre. Bring suitable clothing and a torch as it may get a bit dark. If it’s been raining heavily througout the day, we’ll be at the hall instead. See you there.

This Monday, 17th September, all sections will be at Buckmore Park. Meet at the usual times in the car park behind the Sports Centre. Bring suitable clothing and a torch as it may get a bit dark. If it’s been raining heavily througout the day, we’ll be at the hall instead. See you there.

All sections started back after the Summer break on Monday. The Beavers made totem poles of heads, the Cubs marked on a map where they lived and went to School as well as other local points of Interest – and played some games of course!

The Scouts and Explorers helped the leaders by tidying up the cupboard and thinking about ways to recruit more Scouts – what do you think?

Unfortunatly, tonights BBQ at Buckmore park has had to be cancelled as the forecast is for Heavy rain throughout the evening.

Have a great summer – Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts start back on Monday 10th September.

On Monday 23rd July, we will be holding our annual Summer BBQ and AGM.

This year, instead of going to Upnor Beach as we have for the past few years, we’re going to Buckmore Park.

We will be starting at 6.30 and will finish around 7.30. All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and their families are welcome to come along, share some food and look back on the Scouting year.

If you need assistance with transport, please contact your section leader.
