St. Georges Day Parade – 22^nd April 2012

Our annual St. Georges day parade will be held in Preston on the morning of 22^nd April. We will meet on the covered market at 10.15am to move off at 10.30am, If you have problems with transport please let us know, we will see what we can do. (Car parking is not allowed on the Covered Market)

As this is the one occasion of the year when all Scouts in the District parade together in the public eye please ensure that your turnout is of the highest standard.

After a short parade we will attend a service in the Guild Hall which normally finishes at around noon.

Bike Ride – 22^nd April 2012

After the parade we will meet back at the Scout hut, and after a quick change and packed lunch we will go out for the afternoon – probably a bike ride. If you do not have a bike let us know, we can usually help. Helmets are essential.  

More details nearer the time.

County Rally – 11^th to 13^th May 2012

Our first camp of the year. We have decided to attend this year’s County rally – held every year at Waddecar it is a camp for around 1000 Scouts and offers a weekend of activities and fun. The cost of the camp will be £25 this covers all activities, food, camp fees and a badge.

Following the disappointment of the last camp I need to know who is going. Places must be booked well in advance as numbers are often rationed. In addition leaders must take time off work to attend the camp; this is simply not worth doing for two Scouts. If you want to go camping here is your chance.

Please let me know by Sunday 8^th April either at Scouts, by phone (01772 861319), by email ([email protected]) or by text (07857 385180) – even if you cannot go, let me know.

I will be submitting our numbers on 9^th April so if you have not replied you will not be going.

Badges

A few badges have been awarded but are still not sewn on. I know it’s a horrible job but could we please make an effort to get them sewn on.
