Group Camp 2012Group Camp 2012 – from a Scouts point of view.

The day we arrive we had a small meal in the mess tent (a big tent), fish and chips! People from Broadstone Scouts arrived in dribs and drabs but Springdale are already there. Once everyone was assembled we were all assigned to our tents. No one had told us that Broadstone Scouts were to provide our own tents! Thankfully Derek had some spare in his van. What a relief!

Group Camp 2012

Pioneering at Group Camp 201285 Beavers, Cubs and Scouts join in at the group camp for a weekend of fun, excitement and achievement!

If you were supersticious, Friday 13th April would not have been a good day to embark on a large Scout camp!  However, our leaders had no such inhibitions and were at the hall bright and early, with a band of very willing parents, to load a seemingly endless stream of gear into a collection of vehicles for transportation to Buddens Farm Scout Centre, our local county Scout camp site near Wareham.

Community Week Plans Underway!

Do 1 ThingWe have all been very busy at Broadstone Scout Group, making plans for Scout Community Week – our opportunity to help our community, in return for your help with our fundraising.

We are a large Scout Group with about 130 young people currently registered, so it has taken a lot of careful planning to involve them all in Scout Community Week.  As a leadership team, we felt it important to take this opportunity to be out in the community together, so we are planning to impact on Broadstone on the morning of Saturday 19th May.
