Cubs and Scouts on the 6th. Beavers the 13th.

Happy new year to all. We hope you had a good break. Cubs and Scouts will be starting back this week (6th) and Beavers 1 week later (13th) due to lack of leaders. With no Beavers it is vital to Cub Parents stay and keep an eye on cubs until leaders are there and ready to take over. Prior to the last session of last year a cub was injured and needed to go to hospital. If Leaders are late, as can often be the case with Cubs, we don’t want any more injuries. We understand the cubs like to run around however we have to consider safety first. Permanent link to this post (110 words, estimated 26 secs reading time) … Read entire article »

Matt Sims

I was saddened to hear today that one of our former Scouts and Jack Petchey Award Winner Matt Sims has passed away. Matt had been fighting Leukaemia for some time. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Matt was a very popular, fun and out going scout and he will be missed greatly. Here is a brief photo tribute to Matt: Matt Sims Remembered Permanent link to this post (66 words, 1 image, estimated 16 secs reading time) … Read entire article »

Please ensure there are leaders before you leave your young person

I was with the Beavers at the Museum tonight and when I arrived at the hall I was informed that when the first Leader arrived at 6.35 there were a lot of cubs running around and just a few parents. Unfortunately it is the nature of the cub leadership that all the leaders can’t commit weekly and Neil (Akela ) often gets stuck in traffic. Most weeks I can cover if Neil is late but clearly weeks like tonight could happen. If anyone could come forward and offer Neil help on a regular basis this would be appreciated. Cubs would benefit if a 2nd leader can support Neil weekly Permanent link to this post (110 words, estimated 26 secs reading time) … Read entire article »
