Halloween Group Camp

Our Group Camp returns to Huish Woods, near Taunton on the Halloween weekend of 30th October to 1st November – don’t panic if your children think they will miss trick or treating, there will be plenty of that going on, plus pumpkin carving and maybe a movie and popcorn!

Accommodation will be in the bunkhouses for Scouts (although they might be sleeping in tents, we will let you know) and in the main hall for Cubs and Beavers.

A full kit list will be provided before the weekend.

The cost of the weekend is £60.00, if you would like you children to attend but have not yet booked, please speak to your Section Leader or a Committee Member.

Where Do All These Badges Go?

As the season has started the first badges have been handed out already. Many Scout will collect multiple badges during their Scouting career. Badges are awarded for activities, challenges and achievements, but are also gained at events, camps and jamborees.

So where do all these badges go? Well, many Scouting parent will probably know, but for those who don’t we have a solution. For each section there is a downloadable uniform diagram. And otherwise you can always ask a member of staff.

Scout Scarf Day

The idea of “Scout Scarf Day” on August 1 is that all active and former scouts are requested to wear their scout scarfs in public to make the “spirit of scouting” visible: once a scout – always a scout!

In 2011 the day coincided with the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden which was a perfect opportunity to show the close bond to all the scouts attending. And of course this year it also coincides with the World Scout Jamboree in Japan.

So to raise even more awareness of where you can find Scouts just be proud and wear your scarf in public on August 1st.

Of course, the scarf is only a symbol but a strong symbol for the scout promise and for our mission to leave the world as a bit better a place than we had found it.
