The featured photo this fortnight - Over 30 adults and young people got a taste of Scouting at the hugely sucessful taster session for the new Beaver Colony in Arborfield earlier in February.
Three Towers Hike - Few Spaces RemainingIt’s now just under seven weeks until this year's Three Towers Hike on 10th April. Thank you to everyone who has registered teams online for this year's event and submitted their entry fee payments. Teams that have paid will be allocated a team number and start time. Up until 1st march we may shuffle these around. After 1st March, your check-in time, team number and start time is fixed. To find out more and get involved, visit www.hike.org.uk
Free IngredientsThe Dail Mail is providing a promotional code to get £5 of groceries from your milkman - great for a cooking evening! You need to be 18 or over but several leaders togther could get enough for a party or even a sleepover. More information available here, and don't forget to send in your pictures to Scouts in Action!
Visit Wales Champions Proper HolidaysVisit Wales believe that holidays have changed. They believe that time-off doesn't mean flocking to the Costa Del Same As Everybody Else anymore that fun can't be organized from clipboards that countries should be explored rather than ignored from a lilo. In their latest campaign, Visit Wales want to show holiday-makers that time-off doesn't have to be spent this way.
They're looking for families who've had disappointing holidays. From the ridiculous to the underwhelming, Visit Wales wants to hear it all. And then they'll choose one family and send them on holiday to Wales, in April of this year. With Visit Wales footing the bill.
Once there, they'll give their chosen family a proper holiday. One that packs in the stuff that Wales does best. Activities: coasteering; caving; beaches; foodie feed-ups. And accommodation that might take in a boutique hotel or a build-it-yourself shelter. If you have children aged between 8-16 and are ready to get stuck into a different kind of holiday, then please contact tom.latter@wk.com for more information.
Sainsbury’s Active Kids 2010 has kicked off so get collecting your vouchers now! There are loads of products available, including the all NEW Scouts’ Big Adventure Ingredients Card. Vouchers are available until 8th June, so make sure you don’t miss out. For more information or to register your Group visit www.sainsburys.co.uk/activekids
Your Programme, Your VoiceYour Programme, Your Voice is an online questionnaire for section leaders which is run about three times a year. It is designed to provide quantitative feedback from section leaders on the balanced programme and other issues surrounding its delivery.
The results from the questionnaire allow the Programme Team at Gilwell Park to identify areas of the programme where further support and advice might be helpful to the movement.
The identities of the new Chief Commissioner and Deputy Chief Commissioner of England have been revealed. The appointments, which will take affect from 1 March, serve to ensure that Scouting in England is, in the words of UK Chief Commissioner Wayne Bulpitt, ‘properly supported with a good benefit of management and leadership skills’. More...
The Penguins invite you to join them on the hills...Penguins ESU in Reading invite you to join them on an Easter weekend in great scenery and company. Opportunities for lots of fresh air and exercise in the mountains of North Wales, walking, scrambling and climbing. As on previous events we're opening this up to like minded Explorers and Leaders from across Berkshire. Those of you who have been before will know of the sort of things that we do & if you've missed out before, our Facebook albums may tell some of the tales you missed! Further details here (Word document).
