Summer Camp 2012
Planning for this year’s Camp is well underway, we will give you full details as soon as we can.
The dates this year are:
 Friday August 24th to Tuesday August 28th 
So put the date in your Diaries. 
It would help with the planning if we could get an idea of numbers as soon as possible.

Meetings usually start 7:00pm; finish 9:15pm.

See the Group Contacts Page for Leaders Details

Can we remind you that Meetings START at 7:00 so please be there in good time.

Please let us know if your Scout will not be attending a Meeting.

This helps us considerably with planning equipment, food, transport etc. more efficiently.

Lots of you seem to have stopped doing this. A text is all that's needed.

Remember to bring a waterproof coat to ALL meetings, so we can be outside if we need to be.

Provisional Programme - Keep checking for updates and changes

Mobile Phones at Scouts

We have been having increasing problems with the use of mobile phones at Scouts. While we understand that there are occasions where Scouts may need to bring a mobile phone with them to Scout meetings and other events, this should be on a ‘need to' basis. From June 3rd we will be operating a system similar to that which we adopt for knives.

On arrival at Scouts, any mobiles will be collected and stored safely and securely buy the Leaders, to be returned at the end of the meeting or activity. We don't feel that texting or playing games on mobiles or other hand held devices are compatible with the sort of activities we do at Scout meetings. We would also like to remind you that mobiles are not covered by our insurance, and any damage to them would be at your own risk.

We hope that you will support us in this, but if you have any questions or would like to discuss this with us please contact any of the Leaders at a Scout Meeting, or directly.
