Crewboree

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:18:36 GMT

Crewboree 2008

Date: 6^th – 8^th June 2008

The ‘Crewboree’ is an event run every year by Hesley Wood, and this year we will be attending once again. The camp is aimed at Scouts, Guides, Explorers and Rangers – i.e. no pesky Beavers or Cubs!

Rough Programme

Friday – Arrive after tea, pitch tents, search for missing pegs etc, followed by a karaoke and disco run by Hesley staff.

Saturday – full of activities provided by the site, such as climbing, abseiling, archery, zip line, assault course, bouldering wall, orienteering, inflatables, buggies etc. In the evening there will be an ‘Aussie’ themed disco, with prizes for the best fancy dress!

Sunday - a day of competitions and challenges, with prizes up for grabs.

This camp is normally brilliant, as all the activities available would normally cost a fortune, but we are able to run this camp for just £30 (that’s £20 for Hesley, £10 for food) – or if you pay your £10 deposit by the 10^th of April then it will be only £28, as we receive a £2 early booking discount. The fee includes all the activities, camp fees, food etc – everything but for a small amount of spending money!

St. George's Day

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:16:59 GMT

St. George’s Day Camp- 25^th – 27^th April

This years St. George’s Day Promise renewal will be during a campfire at Hesley Wood on Saturday 26^th April. The Cubs, Scouts and Explorer sections have decided to make a camp out of this event, with activities for each section. The Beavers will be up at Hesley for Saturday afternoon and evening.

Conditions of Membership

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:36:42 GMT

If you have not already done so you will soon be receiving 2 copies of the new ‘Conditions of Membership’ for your section, plus a copy of the new ‘Group Disciplinary Procedure’.

You or your parent/carer MUST sign both copies of the Conditions of Membership, and return one copy to your Leader.

These two documents will give you a clear idea about what’s expected of you as a member of Grenoside Scout Group, and what you can expect from your Leaders.

Good Friday

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:26:22 GMT

No Scouts this Friday, as the Leaders are taking a well deserved night off.

Instead there will be a session of outdoor cooking Friday lunchtime, from 11am to 2pm. Turn up, get a fire going for your group, then start cooking! We’ll supply the food; you supply yourselves in suitable clothing (weather wise and you will stink of smoke).

Of course if the weather does its usual Easter trick and it’s absolutely pouring down then we’ll have to migrate indoors, and we’ll use the camping stoves instead.

St. George's Day

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 08:43:49 GMT

As you may know, St. George is the patron saint of Scouting, as well as England. Baden-Powell chose him as he felt that the Saint George of legend set a good example of faith, courage and perseverance. St George's day is kept on the 23rd April and most Scouts throughout the country will hold some form of celebration on the nearest Sunday. At these events all members renew their promise, from the youngest Beaver to the oldest Leader (not Kit this time!).

This year we will be joining the rest of our District for a camp fire at Hesley Wood, on Saturday 26^th April.

As a bonus, there are additional activities for all sections.

Beavers: Activity sessions Saturday afternoon, camp fire, then go home.

Cubs: Saturday; take part in District Activity Competition, camp fire, then camp out for night.

Scouts: Camp for weekend. Saturday; work towards Outdoor Challenge Badge, Camp fire, then take part in District Night Hike. Sunday; backwoods cooking.

Leaders: Work hard all weekend, arrive home Sunday afternoon tired but happy, knowing they contributed towards making life a little bit better for a lot of people!

Christmas Fair

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:51:00 GMT

Thanks to everyone who attended the Christmas Fayre – we hope you had a great time. Unfortunately the strong winds meant we couldn’t put up the marquee outside, so we were even more cramped than usual inside!

We did, however, raise around £700 for Group funds – a fantastic amount.

A special thanks is due to all the Leaders and helpers who gave up their time to help run the event.
