100 Years of Daventry Parade

On Saturday 14^th May 2011 we paraded through Daventry to mark 100 years of Scouting in Daventry & District. It was a huge success and I am writing to thank those of you who came and supported the event. It was lovely to see so many Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and adults, some in uniform and some in costumes walking and celebrating our centenary year.

I also want to thank all who supported the bases and the young people on the field, I heard lots of laughter as I was walking around. It was also great to say hello to so many people. Thanks also goes to Foggy's parents who showed us some Scouting history with pictures and uniforms from the past.

I know the refreshment area supported by the Jamboree contingent raised some money for Shelter box, which is also great news.

We were also lucky that the rain stayed away so what more can I say execept to say thank you once again.

Here are some pictures of the day

LONG BUCKBY CUBS HOLLAND TRIP

29/4/11

Our party consisted of 10 Cubs, two leaders plus families and friends. We were off on a 4 day excursion to GOES Holland. The travelling by car took most of the day, but the 2 hour midday ferry crossing Dover to Dunkirk was a welcome break and pretty good fun for the Cubs.

We Camped at www.sportpuntzeeland.nl/

This is an excellent base with all the necessary facilities and amenities.

The Cubs spent Friday evening in the pool complex

30/4/11 (Queens day in Holland)
Everything is closed, but everyone is out having street parties and functions.

Braunston scouts set £10k target to save hall

A SCOUT group in danger of becoming homeless is gearing up for a mammoth fundraising effort.

The Second Braunston Scouts will have to move out of their building at the bottom of Cross Lane unless they raise £10,000 to fix the roof.

And now members are getting ready to embark on the three peak challenge in a bid to get as much cash as possible.

The group’s scout leaders will be joined by county wide scouts and friends of the scouts’ association as they aim to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in the space of 24 hours.
