Thanks to all that came along last Saturday for the Maintenance Day! It’s amazing what can be achieved in a day with a gang of helpers!! The brambles round the back have gone! The drive and car park is tidy and we have retrieved a car parking space back from the clutches of advancing vegetation! The kitchen and loos have had a great going over, and the roof gullies and downpipes cleared. A large chunk of the ivy has been removed from the back of the building – we can see light through the kitchen window now!

And our altar fire project was finally realised……

Thanks to all that turned up and gave up their time – you know who you are!

Special thanks to Sue and Tracey for bacon butties and sausage rolls!!

 

Dear parents

1st Linslade Scouts is hosting a Cheese and Wine evening on Monday the 16th of June at Nyamba Scout Hut from 7:30pm. During part of the evening the Annual General Meeting will be held. All parents of Scouts, Cubs and Beavers are invited to attend.

We desperately need your help! As you all know we are really fortunate to have an active and committed team of Scout Leaders, providing excellent opportunities for the benefit of our children. To make the Scouting programme so successful, a great deal of time and hard work goes on behind the scenes.

Due to the increasing numbers in the Scouting sections, more help is desperately needed from parents. At the AGM a range of committees are going to be discussed in order to support this fantastic work. We are looking for a range of skills including gardening, DIY, construction, catering etc. An adult member from every family, whose child attends a 1st Linslade Scouting group, will automatically be allocated a role within one the committees for a short period of time.

Please let us know if you can attend, in order that we can make arrangements for the refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you and sharing a glass of wine on the 16th of June.

Explorers and leaders spent an amazing week on the mountains surrounding the Scout Centre in Kandersteg. Everyone had a great time whether they were a novice boarder or an experienced skier.

Evening activities included igloo building, sledding and a snow shoeing hike through the woods.

On the Sunday we were lucky enough to see the World Dog sledding championships with part of the course on the grounds of the Scout Centre.

Please take a look at the collection of pictures to see what we got up to, click READ MORE below……
