All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, parents, guardians and family members are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting and Presentation Evening at Foundry House between 6pm and 7pm on Wednesday 28th June. This will take place instead of normal meetings. You will hear from the Leaders of each section about what has been achieved in the last year and what is planned for the future. Many Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will receive badges and certificates that they’ve earned during the year.

Starting Back 14th September
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update after the Leaders meeting last Wednesday. The Leaders are still working on the programme for the coming term and we’ll update OSM with details as the meetings are firmed up. We just need to clarify start times for the Beavers in particular as the Beaver leaders need time to get to Foundry house after work.
Beavers – drop off between 5:15pm and 5:30pm with meeting running from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Please don’t turn up earlier as there may be no one there.
Cubs – drop off between 6:15pm and 6:30pm with meeting running from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
Scouts – meeting running from 7:30pm to 9:00pm as usual.
We currently have a large number of Cubs in particular, and with Pat currently recovering, the leaders will need extra support from Parent Helpers, especially for outside activites. We may need to set up a Parent rota to avoid having to reduce numbers. It would be a great help if anyone is able and willing to put themselves forward as a regular Parent Helper for any section too. If you are willing and able, even just occasionally, please let me or one of the Leaders know.
Thanks.
Lamphey Show Fundraising – Pledge Request
As many of you already know, Lamphey Show, which takes place on Wednesday 2nd August 2023, is the main fundraiser for the 4th Pembroke (Lamphey) Scout Group, and we encourage EVERYONE to get involved in some way. Every year the group runs a successful stall selling homemade cakes (they sell better than store bought), tea, coffee etc. The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts also help the parents and leaders to run the stall.
As we did last year, we are asking that all parents/guardians/family members pledge their support in some small way, setting up the tents (5PM on Tuesday), baking cakes, washing up, serving in the stall (between 10am and 5pm but especially 11:30-3pm as busy period), taking the tent down etc. If you happen to be away on holiday, or working and can’t do anything on the day, perhaps encourage a grandparent or family member to supply a homemade sponge cake, fruit cake, cupcakes etc. Cakes can be dropped off on Tuesday at Nicola’s (54 St Michaels Road Pembroke) or Pat’s (10 Cleggar Park, Lamphey) if you can’t make it down to the Showground.
NOTE: If baking, you MUST supply the list of ingredients as we have to display for allergy reasons. We especially need both Savoury and Sweet Scones for the Cream Teas, and ready made Welshcake mixture.
Please, please, please spare us 5 minutes to follow the link below and reply using the online form to let us know how you can help. If you have any issues with the form, you can just email iainomnet@gmail.com or patparkhurst2@gmail.com

Thank you so much for your support. Remember, your children will directly benefit from all the money raised on this day.
For those who haven’t been before, its a great day out. Check out the link below.
Lamphey Church Bulb Planting Cancelled
Bulb planting has been cancelled today Saturday 12th Feb due to the weather.
The Scout Leaders would still like to hike from Lamphey so if Scouts could meet outside Lamphey Hall at 2pm then hike to Foundry House (Kit will be transported separately in a van to keep it dry). Grace will send out an email at 12 midday to confirm – or advise of any change of plan – but the Scout Sleepover WILL still go ahead.
Spring Term 2022
Happy New Year Everyone! We hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and festivities weren’t too badly impacted by COVID. Just to let you all know that the Leaders will be meeting on Wednesday 12th Jan to discuss current restrictions and advice, to agree on a suitable return date, and plan the programme for the Spring term. We will post information on the Website and on Online Scout Manager as soon as possible after the meeting.
Starting Back 15th September
Hi everyone, just a reminder that we will be starting back on Wednesday 15th September in the Foundry House in Pembroke. Usual start times – Beavers 5pm, Cubs 6:15pm and Scouts 7:30pm.
Welcome Back
GREAT NEWS …… WE ARE STARTING BACK. We’ve had a Leaders Meeting and have put all the necessary procedures in place so we can once again enjoy seeing everyone face to face.
Our First Meeting will be on WEDNESDAY 9th JUNE. – usual times: BEAVERS 5.00pm to 6.15pm: CUBS 6.15pm to 7.30pm SCOUTS 7,30pm – 9pm. Although lots of our young people would have gone into the next Section during the past year – in order to make it simple PLEASE bring them along to the Section they were in before Lockdown. We can work out who goes where and then the following week 16th June they can come along to their new Section at the correct time. Subs for the Summer term will be payable – preferably using our OSM direct payment system if you are having problems with the system please contact Iain Omnet who is willing to help. Although we have had no income for a year or more we are keeping our subs at what they were pre-lockdown (£75 per year – Three Termly payments of £25 each).
We have had to complete Risk Assessments so when you arrive at the Foundry House please observe social distancing & masks must be worn – at present children over 11 years must also wear masks (although if this restriction is lifted in school it will no longer apply to Scouts either). We have separate Entry and Exit doors which will be clearly marked. Please wait outside and we will bring the children out to the parents. If you do have to come into the Hall you MUST wear a mask and complete a Track & Trace Form. Please do not send your child to any session if you or any other member of your family is feeling unwell, or has been in contact with anyone with COVID-19. I am sure you are all very well aware of all the restrictions they are in line with those being operated by the schools. Please contact me if you have any queries. Hand Sanitisers will be provided – but if you prefer your child to use their own that is not a problem.
Christmas Card Appeal
The Explorers are encouraging people to write just one extra Xmas card this year, that can be given to someone in residential care.
We have put together some guidance, such as sign off with first names or initials only, not to seal the envelopes (see attached poster)
Hope you can help

COVID-19 Update – Meetings cancelled
In view of the latest Government guidelines the Scout Association has instructed all Scout Groups in the UK to suspend meetings for the duration of the current emergency. As a Group we had decided that we would cancel meetings and assess the situation after the Easter Holidays but now we will be ‘led’ by Scout Headquarters. We have also been informed that Foundry House is now closed as are most Halls and other meeting places. For Scout parents whose children were taking part in the canoe sessions on a Tuesday – these have also been cancelled – and of course the proposed Easter Bingo will not go ahead. We will keep you updated with any relevant information and when we get the go ahead to re-open etc. The proposed Scout and Group camps will not now go ahead – but hopefully we can organise a ‘celebration’ activity when we receive the Go Ahead to reopen. On behalf of all the Leaders of 4th Pembroke Lamphey Scout Group we wish you well and hope you keep healthy and look forward to starting afresh when this period is over. If you have any questions please contact me and I will do my best to help.
