Tobogganing

Our annual Christmas celebration this year is tobogganing! MONDAY 17th December. Meet at the snozone at 6.15pm. PLEASE ensure your Beaver, Cub or Scout is dressed appropriately - waterproof warm clothes as well as hats, scarves and gloves. The best footwear would be well fitting boots. Following a briefing we will be on the snow between 7.00 and 8.00pm. Please collect your Beaver, Cub or Scout at 8pm. This is a subsidised event and so the cost is a very reasonable £5 per child! See you there!

Thank you St Mary's!

We had had the most wonderful evening at St Mary's. Janet, Steve and John welcomed us and showed all interesting things about the church. John then showed us the bells and we all had a go...

Thank you so much to everyone at St. Mary's. We really learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves.

S'mores anyone?

We had great fun tonight toasting marshmallows and squeezing them between chocolate biscuits... S'mores! No-one toasted fingers and they all left with smiles, so a success I think.

Remembrance Parade

Sunday 11 November marks the annual day of Remembrance. 1st Crownhill are proud to join with members of our local church in remembering those brave men and women who have given their lives in our service. Please can you gather at the War Memorial at 10.30am ready for the service to start at 10.50am. Please be in full uniform and be aware that there is usually a collection. We very much hope that parents and carers will stay and be part of the service but if you are unable to then please collect your Beaver, Cub or Scout at 12 noon from the church.

Badges

For the scouts who are always asking why there are some people who get loads of badges all of the time and why they don't get any badges at all; the answer is to do them in your own time.

It can be as simple as getting someone to sign a piece of paper to say that you do a certain club, play for a sorts team or play an instrument. Some badges will take longer and be more difficult than other's depending on what you want to do.

Press the link and you can see the list of badges that you can get and how to achieve them and you'll soon be getting loads of badges!

Fire station magic!

The Beavers scouts were lucky enough to visit the Great Holm fire station last night. We had a fantastic time being shown round the station and fire engines as well as being taught some fire safety.

Thank you so much to blue watch, you were great and we learnt a lot.

It's Subs time again...!

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome to a new scouting year! As it’s THAT time again, we thought we would take the opportunity to refresh everyone on our payment options in an attempt to make the payment and collection of subs much easier you and us.

Subs are due 3 times a year:

1^st term - Beginning September

2^nd term - Beginning January

3^rd term - After Easter break (April)

The cost per term is £35.00.

Three payment options are available:

Pay each term - £35.00

Pay monthly - (12 equal monthly payments) £8.75 a month

Pay annually (at the beginning of the 1^st term) - £105.00

You can pay your subs via the following methods:-

Standing Order - into 1st Crownhill Scout Group Bank Account
Cash
Cheque

Please email our Treasurer at tarynmyrdal@hotmail.com if you choose to pay by Standing Order in order that our records may be updated and we can give you the bank account details.

Cheque

Made payable to ‘1st Crownhill Scout Group’ and given to Taryn Thomson (Beavers) or Susan Lenton (Cubs & Scouts) at the 1^st meeting of the new term.

Cash

We encourage payment via standing order or cheque. If you prefer paying by cash, please ensure the correct cash is given to Taryn Thomson at the 1^st meeting of the new term in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name.

If you have any queries, either speak to Taryn Thomson, Susan Lenton (parent helpers) or any of the leaders at the start of each session, or contact Taryn (group treasurer) via email tarynmyrdal@hotmail.com.

Don’t forget to complete the Gift Aid form – this will considerably add to our ongoing group fundraising!

Cubs - Thursday 19 July

The weather forecast is for rain on Thursday night. After a wet Archery evening, a muddy camp, and knowing there is no shelter at the Concrete Cows I have decided that we will meet in the Hall as usual this week. Please ask your parents to collect you at 7.45pm from the Main Hall as we will join in with Beavers for an end of year celebration. Please tell your friends that the meeting will NOT be at the Concrete Cows! Thank you!

Gang Show 2013

In September rehearsals begin again for the Milton Keynes Gang Show. We have a fabulously talented group of young people and being part of Gang Show is a truly unique experience as well as earning you a badge!!! Lots of of young people from 1st Crownhill have been performers before and so why not encourage your young person to try out? Details below for performers and band members:
