Online Edition - January 2007
Happy New Year! By the time you read this the Centenary year of Scouting will have started! The leaders are going to do their best to make it a year to remember but to remember it you/your child MUST take part! 2007 is going to be a QUALITY year – The Scout Troop has issued a letter laying out what is expected of a Scout and within a few months we are aiming to be the best troop in the Country! (If we also happen to be the biggest that is a bonus!)
Coming
activities
2007 is the centenary of Scouting and also the 80th birthday of 7th
Epsom. Plans are in hand to try to ensure that it is a year to remember.
Just a few of the activities being planned, more are detailed on the web
site –
The 4.7.11 Gang Show in the Playhouse, a biennial event. The last show earned the prestigious ‘red scarf’ and we are determined to ensure we meet the standard required. Tickets are on sale and details are on the Web site. A BIG camp with 5 Districts over the Spring Bank Holiday for Beavers (day visit), Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. The application form is on our web site and the closing date has past. Numbers and deposits have already been passed to District. Late returns can not be guaranteed a place and there is a late booking charge of an additional £1 for Beavers and £5 for everyone else.
The Group Family Camp is in June at Boidier Hurst camp site and details are now out and can be seen on the Web. The 21st World Scout Jamboree at Chelmsford has around 40,000 Scouts registered and is expecting another 80,000 day visitors. Probably the biggest event to be held in the UK! Our group has at least six attendees and Scouts at summer camp are hoping for a day visit. They are looking for people with skills in kayaking, bell boating, raft building, pulling, abseiling, high ropes, mountain biking, safety boat driving to name just a few… can you help from 29th July to 6th August?
A great Scout Summer Camp in Essex with our Swedish friends. The closing date has passed but we can possibly take more.
