Pembs Virtual Camp 2020

Posted on by

The area team have been busy working behind the scenes to bring you the programme for #PembsCamp2020 to be held 18th & 19th July.  You will find the programme packed full of exciting activites, skills for life and challenges, available to download via the Parent Portal.  The hope is for members of every group and unit in the area to come together ‘virtually’ and enjoy what Pembrokeshire Scouts still has to offer. 

During the weekend, a range of online platforms will be used in order to reach out to as many members and potential members throughout the Area and possibly further afield.  There will be ‘Pembrokeshire own’ activities and details of these along with Zoom joining instructions will be sent out to leaders to circulate before the event.

Keep an eye out for some familiar faces dropping in over the weekend and we hope that you will be able to join in the fun. 

COVID-19 Update – Meetings cancelled

Posted on by

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.

The Group has been successful in being selected as one of the local community groups to be supported through the Coop Community Fund for the next year from today.

What does this mean ?

Anyone shopping at the Coop in Pembroke Main St can choose to support the Group by logging in to the website, signing up as a member (if not already a member), and selecting 4th Pembroke (Lamphey) Scout Group as the community project they want to support.  This means that every time they shop and use their loyalty card, 1% of their spend on Coop branded goods is donated by the Coop to the Group.

What should we do ?

  • If you don’t have a Coop loyalty card already, follow the link below, sign up , and select our Group as the Community Group you want to support.
  • If you already have a loyalty card and have registered on the website, just log in and select our Group.
  • Share this email with local family and friends and encourage them to do the same.

Will it cost me anything ?
            No, this donation is funded by the Coop.  Any discounts you receive for being a member are not affected.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  Please, please, share this with as many people as you can in the area so we can raise as much money as possible for the Group.  All funds will go towards extra tents and cooking equipment for future camps.

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good summer and are looking forward to the kids getting back to school (and Scouts) this week.  Pat (Akela) asked me to send you a few bits of information before we start :-

  1. A huge belated ‘Thank You’ to all leaders, parents, family, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who helped with the Show in August.  All expenses etc are in and we made a total profit on the day of £1,518.62 which, in view of the weather and change of site, I think this is a fantastic amount and would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported the Group on the day by making sandwiches, providing cakes and helping with tents.  This will be put to good use in the coming months.
  2. Unfortunately we have to postpone the proposed Group Camp at Lamphey Palace on weekend of 15 – 17th September.  Although we contacted CADW in May and on many occasions during the following months I received a reply towards the end of August requesting a further Application Form be completed – this was returned immediately and then last week I was told I needed to complete Risk Assessments, planned programme information etc – all this had to be submitted then discussed and if agreed only then would  we know if we could go ahead.  It also appears CADW are reconsidering letting certain sites, including Lamphey Palace, out for private events.  The Leaders will be holding a Planning Meeting and a date with be set for Spring 2018 as we are keen to hold a Group Camp. 
  3. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday 6th September at the Village Hall – normal times.   We have waiting lists for all sections so if your child is not coming back please let us know asap so we can offer their place to someone else.
  4. We will let parents have dates and programme details following our Leaders / Exec Meeting to be held shortly.  Cubs:  There is a Sixers & Seconders Day at Pembroke Youth Club on Saturday 8th October – further details shortly.

Please also take a few minutes to log in to My.Scout and check all contact details are up to date.  If you have any problems with logging in to My.Scout, or any issues with setting up direct debits or paying online please let me know.
