19th Maidenhead Scout Group

This year’s annual sleepover was held on the weekend of 6 – 7th March. The scouts were welcomed by a clear sky and a light NE’ly wind that continued over the whole weekend. After setting up the large mess tent so they coulkd do their cooking undercover the scouts split into two groups. As many of the scouts this year are young there was concentration on some basic skills.

After cooking the evening meal (from menus they had planned) they took part in wie games and then sat down to watch a film.

Martin M and Simon H went to Essex to look at several campsites for Summer Camp. All we need now are the scouts to say they are coming. As we need to confirm shortly please contact us so we have an idea of the size of site we require.

THese photos show two campsites wee looked at In their worst condition – Winter!

We would like to welcome to new leaders to our Fold. Siobhan has become Assistant Cub Scout Leader while Martin M has become Assistant Scout Leader.

We are still looking for more volunteers especially with the younger age group – Beavers.

Being a leader is not as daunting as many think. The more of us there are the easier it is! Contact Simon Hall Group Scout LEader via the contact form on this website.
