Group Camp 2023

  |   By  |  0 Comments

What a weekend!

We had 41 young people join us for our group camp this year! The whole camp had an amazing atmosphere!

This weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the support from the amazing leaders we had with us. Every leader got stuck in and helped where they could. So on behalf of all the young people, and myself, I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to them.

They tried Archery, Angel throwing, Air Rifle shooting, played lots of games and did a lot of being loud and running around!

We really hope that all the young people enjoyed their time with us this weekend, here are some photos below from the weekend!

Last weekend marked the end of Karen’s (Rama’s) final beaver sleepover. All of the Beavers had a great time and the closing ceremony allowed the whole group the opportunity to say thank you to Karen for all of her hard work over the last 30 years. Karen really has given everything to 1st Southgate and influenced the lives of so many young people. In her own words:

I just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You to everyone for making my last Beaver Sleepover a memorable one. For the last 30 years I have had the privilege of being part of an amazing team but the time has come to hang up my scarf & woggle & pass the job on.
Wishing you all the best Tracy in your new role. Good luck to all the current Beavers, I hope you continue to have a fabulous Scouting journey.🎉⚜️🎉

Congratulations Isaac

When completed they were allow to hunt for an Easter Egg. There also a number of craft events to try out and some of the Beavers planted more trees in the orchard.

Choosing when to have the Winter Event is not as easy as you may think! 2023 was perfectly timed though, a clear, crisp, DRY, winter evening to come together and celebrate all that’s great at this time of year.

Stanford is a wonderful venue, we know walking the lane is a challenge for many but if you make it, it is always worth the effort.

Wide games safely played in the dark are exciting, exploring is great fun and excellent hot bbq food and drink. Followed by a walk through the dark to the campfire circle for the warmth and welcome of a fantastic fire with such amazing singing! Then plenty of room to stand back and watch brilliant fireworks.

This evening was well received and great fun. An awful lot of work went in all afternoon to set up and a couple of hours to clean and pack away but well worth the effort. Many, many thanks to all the adults and young people who helped make this a special evening to lift the spirits and get us through the cold winter.

If you would like to be part of this fantastic team please speak to any of us – as little or as much time as you want to give. Scouts is a very special thing in which to take part.
