This Wednesday 5th November there will be a Group Bonfire at Ruth’s farm near Cresselly (SA67 8AW) 6pm-8pm. You will need wellies/strong shoes, warm clothes/waterproofs, torches, and a mug if you want soup. Hotdogs will be available. NO FIREWORKS due to animals. Directions below. Car sharing will help reduce congestion if you can organise amongst yourselves. Parents and siblings welcome.
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.
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.
The first meeting of the new term will be Wednesday 10th September at the usual times.
(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.
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!
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.
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

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.
Thanks to all the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Leaders and Parents who made it down to Kingmill Wood today for one of the Scout Community Week events. Everyone worked really hard searching for (and bashing) the Himalayan Balsam, avoiding the brambles and nettles where possible. I think everyone found it both fun and rewarding doing something worthwhile to protect the native plants from this invader. Also, a big thanks to 21C for organising and supplying the tea and coffee.
