Happy New Year! We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year holiday and are looking forward to getting back to normal this coming week. Meetings will resume on Wednesday 7th January at normal times.

Ka (Wayne) and Raksha (Kate) attended the ‘UP, UP and AWAY’ course recently in Pembroke Dock. Here in the photo they are modelling the latest in Scout fashion.
New Photo Galleries Added
I’ve added in some recent photos from more of the 2014 activities (see Galleries on menu) including the Scouts trip to Austria. You should all know the password (shared again on recent email) but email me if you don’t know it.
First Day Back – Wed 10th September
The first meeting of the new term will be Wednesday 10th September at the usual times.
BBQ – Wednesday 16th July – On the Beach
(Updated at 4:30pm) Akela has decided that as the weather forecast is good from 6pm, the BBQ will go ahead as planned on the beach. Please bring wet weather gear just in case – you can use it to sit on if the sun comes out! 6pm-8:30pm.
Tenby Longcourse 2.4 mile Swim Fundraiser
All those who attended the AGM will be aware that Fay Omnet was swimming the 2.4 mile sea swim during the Tenby Longcourse Weekend to raise funds for the Scout Group. The winner of the ‘Guess the Time’ sweepstake was Rhi Bruce who wins the £20 ‘The Room’ Voucher. Fay’s time was a creditable 1 hour 8 mins (much faster than she expected).
Fay raised a grand total of £138!
WW1 Exhibition/Special Service Time Change
Please note that the start time for the Parade and Service on Sunday 6th has changed. Group will meet in full smart uniform at Lamphey Church at 9:15am, with parade starting at 9:30am. Service will start at 10am at the School, with pickup at the School afterwards around 10:45.
Beavers & Cubs Visit Carew Airfield
The Beavers & Cubs visited the Carew Airfield last Wednesday and experienced what life was like during WW2. They visited the exhibition, listened to stories from people who lived through the war, and had an opportunity to dress up in clothes and uniforms, and sit in an Air Raid Shelter. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the visit so memorable

Scout Anglers Assessment
Thirteen Scouts were assessed last Wednesday by the group of Angling experts who have been educating them on Sea, River and Coarse fishing over the last 6 weeks. The Scouts had to complete a verbal test and also demonstrate their ability to set up and bait their rod, cast, catch, land and release their catch. All Scouts passed and will be awarded their badge shortly. Well done! Many thanks to the Anglers who gave up so much of their time.
