Explorers
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.
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.
Just a reminder that all sections are meeting at Capstone Park tonight. Everything is at the normal time for each section, and we’re meeting at the lower car park near the fishing Lake (not the drow hill entrance).
The first day of our Explorer Scouts joining the Jamboree Build Team is complete. The Explorers helped put up some of the 350 fiesta tents that will be used during the Jamboree by delegates and day visitors.
They’re now unwinding for the evening – going out for dinner and to watch the new Harry Potter film.
This weekend, three Explorer Scouts and two leaders are going to help build the 21st World Jamboree. With over 40,000 people from 155 countries attending, the scale of the Jamboree is massive and our Explorers will play their part in ensuring that the many visitors to the UK have an amazing time.
Whilst the Explorers are away building the Jamboree, the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will be attending a Church Parade at the Chatham Salvation Army Hall, 10am on Sunday.
As the weather is a bit unpredictable at the moment, the Scouts and Explorers will meet at the hall tonight – at the usual time.
Over the past few weeks we have seen investitures in Beavers, Cubs and Explorer Scouts. It’s great when we get new young people joining the sections as happened in Beavers and Explorers and also nice when young people progress from one section to another.
Here is a picture of out latest Beaver Scout getting invested.
Any Cubs who have got items of equipment that do not belong to them, please bring them along to the swap shop on Monday night when you can get your own stuff back and return anything you’ve picked up by mistake whilst on camp.
Also, the Scouts and Explorers are meeting at Buckmore Park from 7.45pm to 9pm – don’t be late – we’re playing wide games.
