Chief Scout Award

Cub Scout, Amrit Sian, received the Chief Scout Silver award from Group Scout Leader Simon Theobald at this year’s Cub camp.

This badge is the highest award available in the Cub Scout Section. It is gained by completing the Outdoor Challenge, the Promise Challenge, the Creative Challenge, the Fitness Challenge, the Global Challenge and the Community Challenge.

Well done Amrit, fantastic achievement.

Jumble Sale

The Jumble sale raised in excess of £3000. This is a fantastic achievement as our target until recently was to raise £2000. Many thanks to Deirdre and all the other helpers for the time and effort they put in organising the event.

Special thanks goes to the few who stayed behind after the event to help clear up. A great job done well.

Cub Camp

The annual Cub camp was again a massive success this year. It was held at Lees Wood this year from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th Sep 11. Many thanks to Brian, Louise, Roger, Jamie and everyone else who helped ensure the Cubs had a terrific time.

Some pictures of the camp can be seen here.

Beavers News

Beavers has started the new term with a bang - or to be precise, 7 new members!

We've had an exciting start to our autumn programme: crab football, marshmallow modelling, an exploration evening in the local woods, and looking into the future!

The really bright news for Batchworth Beavers is that we have a new Assistant Beaver Leader, Claire Campbell (to be known as CC), and we'd like to extend a very warm welcome to her.

Christmas Panto – Cinderella

This year the panto is Cinderalla starring Jonathan Ansell as Prince Charming and Michael Otton in the shape of Cinderella’s best buddy Buttons Cinderella’s carriage will be bringing all the cast to Rickmansworth on 11th December at Watersmeet.

There are still some tickets left for the pantomime. Anybody who's interested should contact Jane Spurr (jane.spurr@kcl.ac.uk; 01923 776936).
