Istcopthorne.scoutsites.org.uk #SlallsForLife ## **Message from our** ## **Group Scout Leader** This year has been great to see scouting back on track and seeing the young people learning Skills for Life. This year we have got back to face to face meetings, back to doing stuff that is normal and most importantly we have got back to providing nights away experiences. The young people are bouncing back and this is a really nice thing to see. We have also managed to do bonfire night and a jumble sale which was great to start getting back to fundraising after nearly 2 years. I would like to say thank you to the leaders for getting back on track and continuing to provide amazing activities and events for the young people. Thank you to the group exec as well for their behind-the-scenes work, making sure the building was ready for us to come back to and making sure we still had funds by getting grants. Thank you also to the SASU for supporting the sections and group exec, this is a valuable team of people who help out where they can. I would like to thank Gwyn and Esther for all their help and advice on getting the sections and SASU back up and running. And thank you to the parents for their support and thank you to young people for making it worthwhile. Owen Cheesmur Group Scout Leader Contact: owen.cheesmur@egscouts.org.uk ## **SMUGGLERS** It has been another fun and extremely busy year at Smugglers Beavers. We have awarded loads of badges, with many of oldest Beavers going on to earn their bronze award. We’ve had a broad and exciting program over the last year, allowing Beavers to earn many of their activity and challenge badges. Here are just a few of the trips and activities that we’ve done: visited East Grinstead fire station, met the local PCSOs, visited the local church, went on a healthy eating picnic, celebrated Diwali with sparklers and model fireworks, watched a pantomime, practised our fire lighting and cooking, went bowling, played laser tag, and of course, we played lots of games and made and ate lots of food! We have also joined in with local events! Beavers all created musical instruments, baked delicious cakes, and built amazing Lego models for the Copthorne Flower and Produce show. At the end of the summer term, we held a joint party with Voyagers to celebrate 35 years of Beavers! We all had a great time, and even got to meet Badges the Beaver while eating our ice creams. In November, we held a Christmas themed sleepover, where Beavers created lots of wonderful crafts, making table decorations, candle holders, and reindeer cookies. They finished the camp off with a Christmas dinner and movie (with lots of popcorn!). This would not have been possible without the support of such an amazing leadership team, so a big thank you to: Jo (TicTak), Natalie, Ellie, Kevin, Charlie, and Harry. Nick (Badger) ## **VOYAGERS** It has been another year of change for the leadership team in Voyagers – Jade joined our team after enjoying so many of our zoom meetings during the lockdown. She was named Sky by the Beavers. We were also lucky to have two young leaders join us in December 2021 who are named Astro and Cosmo. Voyagers had an exciting year back following the lockdown. We were determined to be outside and enjoy being back at Beavers as much as we could. We started by making some slime and doing the skittle experiment. We practised our cycling and road safety skills. We had a lot of fun building dens in the woods. The beavers’ imagination is just wonderful - secret entrances, bedrooms, fire pits and even a baby bird swing! In July we celebrated 35[th] years of Beavers with a lovely joint party with Smugglers. Lots of games on the field, a bouncy obstacle course and a BBQ. Our autumn term had even more fun activities including learning to be secret spies, designing and making robots out of junk modelling, a visit from Chino (an assistant dog), a Halloween party, and celebrated Alien’s 21[st] birthday with a trip to Lazerworld. We also had our long awaited Winter Wonderland Sleepover which included a trip to the panto. 2022 started with a trip to St Swithun’s Church followed by some cricket skills, scavenger hunts and a visit by SKF Karate. We finished the term with some Easter fun on the field. A huge thanks to all members of the Leader Team. Alison (Rocket) **ASH** As a group we have had a very busy year involving lots of wide games outside and several outings. Here are a few photos which show the cubs in some of their activities. As you will see even the leaders took part! My thanks to all members of the Leader Team for all their hard work this year. Mark (Shere Khan) **OAK** It has been another busy and fun filled year in Oak Pack, the Cubs have taken part in a wide array of activities ranging from Photography to Climbing at Blacklands! Oak have earned lots of badges this past year including, Science, Money Skills, Animal Care, Emergency Aid and Fire Safety. The Summer term saw us getting competitive with Nerf Wars and a game of Foot Golf, we also enjoyed getting creative with Father’s Day craft as well as creating robots from recycling and old clothes. Autumn was a jam-packed term with loads of exciting activities. The Cubs impressed us with their cooking skills during our Campfire Cooking Competition where the Cubs also put into practice their fire safety skills. They all became budding scientists when we worked towards their science badge and enjoyed nights of messy science experiments, which included balloon rockets and lemon volcanos. Towards the end of the term, we visited Laser Quest where all the Cubs seemed to target the Leaders more than anyone else! We ended the term with a Christmas party with party games and turning each other into Christmas trees with tinsel. The New Year brought new fun experiences for the Cubs; we showed our hidden talents in a talent show in which the Cubs were all very impressive. A Photography evening allowed the Cubs to take some amazing light photos using glow sticks in the dark and Oak teamed up with Ash Pack for a night of Bowling. We learned important life skills during our Emergency Services night where the Cubs learned the essential skill of calling for help in an emergency as well as mastering some basic first aid skills earning them their Emergency Aid badge. The Spring term ended with a pizza making night and the Cubs hosting a lovely Mother’s Day tea. There has been change in the leadership team this year with the arrival of Joseph (Ziggy) and Hannah (Rocky) in April who joined Carly (Akela) and Karen (Chil). Carly stepped back from the pack in February, and we would like to say a big thank you for her hard work and commitment to Oak Pack. We would also like to thank Owen, Esther and Nick for their continued support over the past couple months. We look forward to what next year brings! Oak Pack Leaders. **MALLORY** We started the year still under covid rules and spend most of the summer term outdoors. We did nerf wars, field games, climbing, abseiling, what 3 words treasure hunt, and lightweight camp cooking . Finally covid rules were relaxed and we were able to go on our summer camp to Walton firs Cobham. We cooked on open fires, did archery, nightline, adventure course, caving, crate stacking and frisbee golf In the autumn term the scouts made pizzas, war hammer figures, did wide games, laser hub and completed their climber badge. The patrol leaders ran an evening and taught the scouts about their hobbies. They also went to St Omer army barracks in Aldershot and completed their mechanics badge. In October we went to Tower hill campsite for the weekend for a survival camp. Here we built fires, which we cooked all our meals on, took part in a wide game and slept in shelters which the scouts built. We also attended the outdoor remembrance day service at Copthorne Church. The patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders took part in a winter walk camp. In the Spring term we did our skills badge which meant finding out about healthy eating and lifestyle choices as well as learning new skills. We went to Buchan Park and helped the rangers make fire breakers. We had a visit from a magician who taught a several tricks and finished the term with an egg fling. We had 3 scouts achieve their chief scout gold awards and they have all moved on to Explorers. I would like to say a very big thank you to Stephen, Alaric and Owen for their continuing support and hard work. Thank you also to the parents for your support. We look forward to another busy year. Esther Cheesmur **SCOTT** It has been another very busy year for us all in Copthorne, and Scott Troop have taken part in a range of activities. We have done a lot of training on camp skills, due to missing out on a years’ worth of camping when COVID hit us. This has included remembering how to pitch a tent, cook on Trangias, lighting and cooking on an open fire, pioneering and map reading. Back in May 2021, we went on a walk around Copthorne and learnt about the history of certain roads and buildings. The Scouts learnt that there used to be a well in front of the Junior School, that the Dukes Head Roundabout used to be crossroads and that there used to be a hardware store and butchers in the village. In the Autumn term of 2021, our programme included the likes of a Performing Arts night, where the Troop had to create their own campfire sketch which they then had to perform. We also had a Chef’s Evening, where the Senior Patrol Leaders taught the other Scouts how to make Chilli and Rice – I think it goes without saying this was a huge success and the Scouts loved being able to have a second dinner! We finished off the term with a trip to LazerWorld, which wasn’t highly competitive at all… The start of 2022 brought Scott Troop a cooking contest (think Ready, Steady, Cook!), where they were presented with a range of ingredients and told to make a meal. The leaders were quite surprised at how well they did, and both teams did very well. We also worked on some ways that we could promote Scouting, and had an International evening where we learnt about Scouting in different countries and cultures. The Spring term ended with a trip to the bowling alley (which saw some very impressive high scores), and naturally we finished up with an Easter Egg hunt on the field. Over the past year we were fortunate to be invited along to camps with Mallory Troop, all of which the Troop have thoroughly enjoyed! A big thank you to Mallory Troop Leaders for organising these amazing camps for the Scouts. I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has supported Scott Troop over the past year – we really couldn’t have made some evenings happen without the support of fellow Leaders, parents and our Scout Active Support group. You guys are amazing! A big thank you to my leader team too, I think I would have gone crazy a long time ago if it wasn’t for Miles, Keith and Ruben being there each week to help plan and support the evenings. Here’s to another amazing year! Becca Scott Troop Leader **MATTERHORN** We have 10 Explorers in the unit, over the last year we done activities like backward cooking, climbing at volume 1 in East Grinstead, bowling with the Copthorne Rangers. The explorers helped with the bonfire night having a sleep over on the Friday night at the scout centre. Here are some of the planned activities for the next year - a sailing trip and summer camp at Thriftwood. ## **COPTHORNE SCOUT ACTIVE SUPPORT UNIT** Our Scout Active Support members have been busy throughout the year giving much needed support to the Scout Leaders and Scout Group Executive and most of you will have seen the Black shirts with gold logos at ## Copthorne’s Scouting Events. You have a tremendous team of volunteer leaders, in all the sections, of the Copthorne Group who give much more than anyone should expect to make your young people have the best Scouting experience. What they achieve can only be measured by the smiling faces of the children today and the memories and experiences your children will take with them into the future. By giving support at activities and events during the year we enable the leaders to spend more time concentrating on the vital role for which they are trained which is, to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society. What a mammoth challenge this is for our leaders and one which requires them to give individual attention to each child. The Copthorne Scout Active Support have this year supported the Group’s fund raising that makes this possible at Jumble Sales, Bonfire Night, The Carnival and the Jubilee. We have given direct help to the sections activities in the Sports Day, The Pantomime trip, and assistance at Cub Camp. Members have also given back up to section meetings and the provision of second hand uniforms to those that need them. We are, however, a small team limited by time and skills so we cannot achieve all we would like. No member of the Scout Active Support is expected to do anything. They help when they can and when they want to, but through the team communication they are able to know what help is required and when it is needed. We need to increase our pool of members so that we can be more effective, for the benefit of your children, but unfortunately no one has come forward to join us in the last twelve months despite our efforts to advertise the important background role we can play. As parents we must remember that all leaders are unpaid volunteers who give untiringly of their time to be trained so that they can provide the best Scouting experience. By registering with the Copthorne Scout Active Support you can, within your own limitations, support their task and show your appreciation of all that they achieve. ## **A Copthorne Active Support Member** To register with Copthorne Active Support please contact one of organisers below: Gwyn Cheesmur Active Support Manager gwyn.cheesmur@egscouts.org.uk Stephen Hammond Active Support Co-ordinator Stephen.hammond@egscouts.org.uk ## Group Executive - Chairman’s Report The Executive committee’s role is to ensure that scouting is carried out in a safe environment and with suitable equipment, to be able to offer the children a balanced and varied programme. The Executive committee takes the lead in the fundraising events and other activities throughout the year. Fundraising in 2021 began with the village carnival where we were able to run the usual three stalls. The October jumble sale was cancelled due to concerns over COVID. The family fireworks and bonfire being an outdoor event went ahead and proved to be very successful. This year’s March jumble sale was well supported by both volunteers and members of the public. There was a considerable amount of jumble collected, sold and at the end recycled. Income from hall hire has dropped since we lost our regular hirer during COVID, Various new groups are now taking up regular spots. The scout centre is in a good state of repair at present with some minor work on the ridge tiles to be carried out. I would like to thank all the executive members for their hard work and support during the last financial year. I would especially like to thank John for his hard work and dedication in looking after the group’s finances. John has ensured we get the best returns on our investments and worked to secure grants from various local sources. We were able to help the cubs and scouts with providing transport for camps and supporting the leaders, who give up their own holidays, which helps in keeping the cost of camp affordable for all. The leaders under the guidance of Owen, have given the young people a varied and challenging program over the last year. Thank you for all your hard work. As always, I have a request. Parents, please help the group by giving up some time to help. You could come along and help during a section meeting, come along and help at a jumble sale, volunteer 30 minutes of your time at the carnival, join the executive committee, or even volunteer to become a leader, we even have a small group dedicated to supporting the group known as the Scout Active Support unit, who have helped throughout the year.
