Residential events played a big part of this with Guides going to Water Weekend and Brownies attending Jungle Jinks camp.

It gave everyon8 a chano to ne￿ork and make new friends alongside tsking part in Jubi18e them8d crafts and games. In November, we were really pleased to be able to host our annual Bonfire and Fireworks event. This had been cancelled the previous 2 years due to Covid. Volunteers stepped up to man the gate, cook and serve food and run a safe and entertaining fir8work display. We celebrated many awards with young people eaming top badges in their age rangelunrt. Alongside this we presented a couple of long service awards to our volunteers showing their dedication and steadfastness and also our commitment to valuing and retaining our volunteers. Thumby Scout and Guide Group has continued to make a positive impact on our local communty and on the lives of the young people involved. We need to recognise the amazing volunteers who give their time and energy to ensure that the young people in our or anisation could benefft from the wide varie of opp(xlunities on offer and challenge themselves to doing something new.
