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.
Online Scout Manager also have a small Kit Store where they sell tried and tested equipment. For every purchase, OSM donate up to 10% back into Lamphey Scout Group funds. If you are in the market for anything from a flask to a head torch please check it out when shopping around. Any funds raised go towards events and equipment for the group.

The Scouts participating in the Anglers badge had their first outing today fishing in the Cleddau Estuary. Catch included a small flounder, an eel, crabs and lots of seaweed. Next week (21st) will be in Orielton. Please meet in the Speculation Inn car park at 6:55pm sharp – we will travel down to the pond together.
A big thank you to all those who turned out for parade on Sunday (a very cool blustery day, but at least it was dry). It was an impressive sight with the flags, uniforms, and fire engine!
Huge congratulations to the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who all took part in the County Swimming Gala today. First for the Beavers and joint first for the Cubs and Scouts! Amazing result! Pictures to follow…..
Over the last couple of months, the Scouts have all had a chance to spend the evening with Pembrokeshire Woodturners who gave them the opportunity to ‘turn’ their own piece of wood. The Scouts are very grateful to the Woodturners for giving up their time.

Congratulations to all the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who were presented with their Bronze, Silver and Gold Chief Scouts awards recently.
Congratulations to all those who took part in the Hockey Tournament last weekend.
4th Pembroke (Lamphey) Scouts came 2nd overall – a great result considering the limited practise time! Well done!
We have a busy weekend coming up with two full Group Events – Tree Planting on Saturday and the Remembrance Parade on Sunday. Parents are welcome at both of these events. All Scouts are particularly encouraged to attend the parade on Sunday. Please use My.Scout to indicate if your child is available to attend – this helps the leaders know how many to expect on the day.
Details of these events are available through My.Scout. Details for Tree Planting are available here ……
Lewis Clegg and Rachel Jones were fortunate enough to be interviewed recently by S4C at our local community wood where Pembroke 21C have been digging out some new ponds. They quite happily chatted away with the presenter Dafydd who was very impressed with their language skills and their enthusiasm for pond dipping. The Scout group will be using Holyland Wood as their case study for obtaining their Naturalist Badge.
