After deciding to cancel this event due to a lack of volunteers to organise it two things happened: the 2 volunteers we had said that they were prepared to do it anyway, and one extra person volunteered. So it's back on. The volunteer team will work out the details but we expect it to be in early July, probably at Robert Miles, content to be decided. If you'd like to help its not too late, just get in touch.

Places for Beavers, Cubs & Scouts

Our problems continue with providing enough places for all of the young people to move up from Beavers to Cubs and Cubs to Scouts.

Without extra capacity (which means more adult help) we cannot provide places for all who want them; this will also mean that some existing members will not be able to move up and will have to leave the Group. This is already effecting some children.

Just a few more volunteers and YOUR child will have a future in Scouting in Bingham.

Explorer Scouts

Arrangements are proceeding to open a 2nd Explorer Scout Unit, this will provide space for all of those Scouts wishing to move on to Explorers. This is the first step in our aim to provide enough capacity for everyone in Bingham who wants to join Scouting. But it will be pointless if we can't keep all of the Scout Troops open.

£1,384.18 this time (+ 50 US cents, 2 x US quarters, 2 x 1 US cent, 17 Euro cents, 1 x 20 Singapore cents, 1 x 20 NZ cents, 1 x something odd from an asian country, a trolley coin & a button!).

More people next time = more money!

Morrisons, Gamston on Saturday 22nd September - we'll need EVERYONE there (some parents too!) - more details later

Plans are in place for next year's Group Camp - we will be going to the Nottinghamshire County Camp at Southwell Racecourse 4th-7th May.

Cost will be £45 per person, this includes camp fees, activities and food, individuals will be responsible for their own travel arrangements.

All Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Leaders and Helpers invited to camp. Beavers will be invited to come for the day on the Sunday.

The intial letter has gone out asking Cubs, Scouts and Explorers to book their place - copy here.

A letter about the Beaver Day will be sent out later.
