Scouting Report

• Family Camp 2019 was very successful, the children particularly enjoyed the Digital Animation. There was a good range of activities including climbing wall and ‘drop an egg’ competition.

• District Camp was enjoyed by all and was very exciting.

• Cub Camp went very well and as usual there was a good supply of cake. Fire lighting and compass work were highlights.

• Monday Beavers had a great day at District Camp, it was very tiring, but everyone enjoyed it. They have been canoeing, working towards Explorer badge. 289 badges and 3 Chief Scout Bronze have been awarded.

• Friday Beavers enjoyed the axe throwing at District Camp. They have done several cooking and food challenges. Awarded ‘lots’ of badges and 3 Chief Scout Bronze awards.

• Monday Cubs enjoyed the climbing wall, have visited the Sikh temple and hired the Pingles for the swimming badge. Jenny & Myra have retired from leading cubs meeting but will continue to take an active part in Scouting.

• Friday Cubs had an incredible weekend in London including Kip on a Ship and meeting Marcus Jones for a tour around the Houses of Parliament. 6 Chief Scout Silver Awards.

• Scouts have had trips to Ice Skating, Bowling, Gang Show, Bear Trek. Made bird boxes and Christmas dinner. Invited ‘Making Generation R’ to visit to discuss mental health awareness. Orienteering at Hartshill and marshalling at Bedworth Park Run. Sailing and rafting at Chasewater and walking in the Malverns.

• Explorers planted the raised beds outside the Scout hut, cooked meals for special guests, started a Foodbank collection and worked on refreshing the Explorers Programme.

• Summer Camp 2019 at Charnwood started off brilliantly. It was a very large international camp and friends were made from all over the world. A wide range of activities including trampoline, arts and crafts, and being forced to listen to the Vengaboys (enjoyed by some). Heavy rain caused the site to become muddy and unsafe and everyone had to leave. Our group of Explorers helped to maintain the site using straw on the ground and joined with the Scouts to pack up their camp. They helped all across the site and felt that it was an amazing experience, a great ‘coming together’ to help out.

• Network are trying to organise more regular meetings.

• 24[th] World Scout Jamboree took place in West Virginia; the site was so large it had buses to get around and served 10,000 people at mealtimes. 8 members from our group attended, including Jonathan, Tom and Lucy as section leaders. Jonathan described it as a brilliant experience and thanked the Group and Nigel for the support to enable them to go.

• The 2021 Census is due next week, Beavers numbers are expected to be down because not many people have been taken from the waiting list. We have lost a few leaders recently but other numbers should probably be similar to 2020.

• The officers and committee have all agreed to continue in their positions for this year.

• Chairman, Andy Morgan – nominated by Ian Aley and seconded by Helen Cross.

• Secretary, Anne Tallentire – nominated by Sandra Parker and seconded by Tom Ind.

• Treasurer, Carl Miller – nominated by Aston Watkins and seconded by Lucy Miller.
