Summer Camp 2009 is expected to be from 25th July to 4th August - we intend it to be in Devon.
Since we expect it to be a camp based on water activities, we're probably not going to be too far from the coast.
The District will be running another Cub Scout and Scout football day on Sunday 9th June 2009, refereed by our own inestimable Simon Gosden.
Closer to the event you will have the opportunity to let your section leader that you're really good enough to be in the England team, but instead you're willing to play for 1st Finchampstead. There will be more details as well.
As we did in 2008, the first major event of the year is intended to be a walking camp at Easter, from 9th to 12th April.
More details of this expedition can be found by clicking here.
If you have any questions at present, please contact Simon Gosden () or Chris Hook ()
On the 4th April 2009 the Three Towers Hiking Competition will take place. Over the last 3 or 4 years we as a Group have taken part, last year with 2 teams in the Scout event and 3 teams in the adult event.
Next year we would like more teams to enter again.
Due to the success of 1st Finchampstead's first ever "Eastrek" earlier this year, we have decided to run the event again in Easter 2009. The hike will be held in the New Forest and will run over the Easter weekend (April 10th - 13th 2009). Scouts will be accommodated in a bunk house.
As we have done in the last few years, each of the Beavers, the Cub Scouts and the Scouts is going to be putting a float into the Wokingham Winter Carnival again this year.
It will take place on Sunday 30th November.
All Scouts and families are invited to join us for the annual village Remembrance Day Parade on Sunday 9th November 2008.
We shall meet outside the Memorial Hall in Finchampstead Village at 2.00 pm ready to march to the Memorial. The parade will commence at 2.30 pm and the service at the Memorial Cross will commence at 3.00 pm.
Planning is already in progress for our 2008 Autumn Camp and we need your company and enthusiasm to make this another memorable Finch venture.
This autumn we are heading south to the New Forest to complete the pioneer’s badge.
Basic details at the moment are as follows:
Date: Friday 31st Oct – Sunday 2nd November 2008
These are the knots and lashings that you should try and learn before camp. There are two factsheets for knots and lashings which may help you (click on the links below).
