Summer Camp - Reminders

A reminder for those going on Summer Camp that we need your signed Permission to Camp form this week, plus your Medicines Form if applicable.

Scouts wanting to take part in the rifle-shooting activity should also hand in the Parental Consent form this week.

And this is also the last week to pay in any pocket money that you want us to look after.

Summer Gala Update

With a couple more donations our final total is £679. As we are running more camps than ever, and more Cubs and Scouts are attending, we were in need of camping gear. Therefore, we have spent some of the gala money raised on buying 2 new tents and some cooking equipment. As Beavers won't get the benefit of this equipment until they are Cubs, we will be using some of the money to subsidise their Sleepover in September. Any money left will buy new games equipment.

If you want to see a breakdown of the money spent then you will be able to do so at our AGM in September. More details on that later....

Also, we will be having a Beaver Sleepover camp on the weekend of 19/20th September at Silverwood. We are joning up with our friends at Darfield for this one to make it extra special. Watch out for details coming soon.

Sports Day Update

A beautiful sunny afternoon saw Ben, Kezia, James B, Jackson and one of our newest recruits Chloe win second team place for Beavers. Each one got a Winners medal too. Jack, Jordan, Thomas, Ronan and Katie won individual medals, some more than one, for Cubs. (There wasn't a team placing for Cubs) Thank you very much to parents for bringing the children along to support the Group. We appreciate it.

Teatowels etc

Hello All,
I know I'm always on the cadge but has anyone got any teatowels, handtowels or cleaning products they could pass on to us please? Thanks,

Directions for this weekend's activities

If you're going to the Scout Athlete Badge on Sunday, the venue is the athletics track, behind the Station Inn on Station Road, Wombwell. Directions: follow the A633 from Stairfoot roundabout, heading towards Wombwell/Rotherham. At the next roundabout take the A633 (Wombwell Bypass) called Mitchell's Way. At the next roundabout turn left onto Station Road. The Station Inn is on your left after about 100metres.

If you're going to the Beaver and Cub Sports Day, the venue is the park at Broomhill. Directions are as above, but you go straight ahead at the Mitchell's Way/Station Road roundabout. As you approach the next roundabout, look for the left turn signposted Broomhill. Take this left (Everill Gate Lane) and follow the road into Broomhill. Once you are in Broomhill the main road makes a sharp right. Just on the apex of the bend take a left turn into Broomhill Lane. The park is just on your left.

Beaver and Cub Sports Day

Beavers and Cubs are invited to attend our District Sports Day to be held this coming Sunday 28 June at Broomhill. Please arrive at 1pm for an hour or two of fun and games. Wear trainers and your necker. The rest is up to you! You won't need any money but there may be a stall or two run by the others in the District. Bring a drink and depending on the weather, a sun hat and cream. Not sure what time it will finish but shouldn't be later than 3, so parents could you please hang around for this event. There is a pub on the corner I believe! Try to let me know by mail if you can make it so I have an idea of numbers. kim@ardsleyscouts.org.uk

ps I apologise for this event being held at a separate venue to the Scouts. Hope this doesn't cause problems for any of you with children in different sections.
