As we are getting ready for the Easter break we would like to wish you all a very happy Easter. Make sure that if you go Easter Egg Hunting that you will have fun, and don’t eat all of the eggs you find in one go.

And here we are, wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
The same words might have been said last year, but the time seems to fly when you are having fun. It been a great year, packed full of activities, meetings and camps.
We have been to the Avon Scout Jamboree, Woodhouse Park, Youlbury, Chelwood, and various other places have been visited as well. Where will we be exploring next year?
And when will we meet again? Groups start again on Wednesday 11th January.
All of us from 78th Kingswood Scout Group wish you a very Merry Christmas!
As part of this year’s Remembrance Sunday on November 13th, the 78th Kingswood Scout Group are attending the British Legion Remembrance Parade which marches through Staple Hill to Page Park for a very special service of remembrance at the Cenotaph. There will be other groups from the Scouting Association attending, along with members of various armed forces, both past and present.
This is a VERY special occasion and an excellent opportunity for the younger generation to represent themselves in front of the older generation. As such, all attendees must be in FULL uniform and wearing a Poppy. Please ensure that your child has a coat, ideally a pac-a-mac that can be packed down small. If the weather is cold, then extra layers can be worn under their uniform. As a mark of respect we always ensure that the full uniform is on display unless it is raining. (This includes black shoes – no trainers, no jeans).
Full details have been email to the parents/carers. Please contact a member of staff if you have not received the information or if you have any questions.
We know that you recognise the significance of this year’s Anniversary commemorations and therefore look forward to seeing the younger generation support this important event.
Yours in scouting,
The 78th Kingswood Scout Group Committee and Leaders
We will be investing a whole lot a new Beavers, Cubs and Scouts on Wednesday 19th October.
Parents are welcome to this very important event, and afterwards we will be serving coffee and tea, and there will be home made cakes to taste as well.

Last year we were successful in obtaining a £1,000.00 grant from Downend Round Table towards the cost of a new trailer. In addition they gave us the opportunity to raise more funds at their annual fireworks display on the 6th November 2015, which realised in excess of £500.
We have now been given the opportunity to help at this year’s fireworks display on the 4th & 5th November 2016. This is a fantastic opportunity to raise money and have a bit of fun at the same time. This is how you can help:
Money that the Roundtable save by us carrying out these tasks translates into extra profit that they then return to us in the form of a donation so the more we can help the bigger the donation!
There will be a further opportunity to help them and raise more funds in December when they will be after volunteers to help on their annual Santa sleigh tours around the local streets.
All helpers get free entry to the fireworks and will be provided with High Vis Vests. All young helpers will receive a community staged badge.
Ruth Guilfoyle is main contact (ruth_crabb@yahoo.co.uk ) for the Friday Firework display and Tim Warren (timwarren07@gmail.com) is for the Saturday litter picking.
If you think you can help, please email Ruth or Tim.
This year our group camp is at Youlbury Scout Activity Centre in Oxford. We will be camping from Friday 21st until Sunday 23rd October, with our coach leaving on Friday at 6pm so we would like campers to be at the church by 5.30pm.
Kit lists and health forms have been handed out, and we need the health forms filled out and handed back to us as soon as possible.

We would like to invite all parents for our annual general meeting on Wednesday 18th May 7.15 to 7.45pm in the main hall at the Church.
