One of the greatest assets of our group is that most of our current leaders were also once our beavers! This weekend was an excellent training experience for our new leaders and comprised many of the basic scouting skills. To see our young leaders develop and build the foundation for the next generation is truly exhilarating. Well done to all involved for such a wonderful time in the Forest of Dean.
Our group took part in the second Skip Johnson Memorial Hike at Mortimer Scout HQ. It was a difficult hike but fortunately, the rain held off! Well done to all who took part and made it an amazing event.
A big thank you to all of those who attended on Saturday and made it such an enjoyable event.
A special thanks to Darren (our Cub Master) for organizing the quiz on Saturday and also to Mike (Trustee) who helped on the catering front. When all the money is in we will have made a fantastic £390 and £64 of this was made on the raffle drawn on the night.
Saturday 9th March – 19:30 for a 20:00 start.

A small selection of our leaders paid for themselves to attend the WFIS general assembly because of our group currently lacking the funds to cover the costs. They flew to Portugal to accept our invitation to become full members after successfully completing our probationary period. Our group now joins over 150 affiliated groups in 65 countries, combining to make a staggering 7 million individuals.
Richard, our GSM, commented, ‘I am pleased to advise that our Scout Group was accepted as a full member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS) at their General Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal on last Saturday. The acceptance vote was unanimous, and our three young leaders were greeted with a standing ovation when we were invited into the meeting. There were some 150 Scouts there from many countries and the majority were young leaders!’
Through our membership we can now network with Scouters around the globe.
Whether you are a past or present member, we desperately need your help.
As many of you are aware, we need a new scout hut. Our current hut was a temporary building with an end of life around the late 90s. We have kept it serviceable until now, but we are losing the battle. All the grants we are applying for require us to submit a large amount of evidence about how we serve the community. With a new hut, we would also be keen on expanding our home to other community users and charities. We already have several interested parties.
BUT WE NEED YOU!
Anyone who was in our group as a child, helped us as a leader, had children in our sections, is currently a member, or just assisted in any other way. We would be most grateful if you could please write a letter of support (doesn’t have to be long), stating how you believe our group has helped you or your family. Think of this as a simple testimony of your experiences with us. That is all we ask!
Our Christmas fayre was a great success and we thank all those who helped and attended. We would also like to thank our long running partner, Mytchett Centre, for allowing us to host it in their hall.
Save the date! Our Christmas fayre will be returning to the Mytchett centre on the 25th November from 10am – 12pm. There will be lots of games to play, sweets to be won and Santa to see! We look forward to seeing everyone and their family. All our welcome, so no need to be a member of our Scout group.
