We are always trying to find ways to raise money for our Scout Group. Well here's a way that won't take up much or your time or cost you any money. If you already shop with major retailers online such as Amazon, Tesco, John Lewis and many others then you could be raising a little bit for 3GP each time you shop.
The cubs were at Crow camp for the Maureen Preston Trophy. They had to complete tasks and challenges on a number of bases to prove their Scouting Skills.
LEADER TRAINING
Two of our leaders spent the weekend in Wales on a Mountain Leader training weekend. The picture on the right shows our tent in the middle of nowhere!
We had a little spare time so flew the group kite. Sunday the sun rose without a cloud in the sky and we were woken by wild horses eating grass near our tent at 6am.

WINTER CAMP
JANUARY 2017
The Scouts spent the weekend at Crow Camp. Saturday they went Orienteering in South Weald before playing an excellent version of twister on the climbing wall.
After Twister the Scouts cooked dinner and got ready for the camp fire.
The three teams of Scouts had been challenged to create burger restaurants Each team had to make costumes and boxes to server the burgers in.
At the camp fire they had to act out advertisements for their burger companies.
For Sunday Lunch the teams cooked burgers, served them from their Burger cabins in their burger boxes wearing their company uniforms.
Some teams did a better job than others but the Scouts and Leaders all got to eat lots of well cooked burgers.
