Summer Camp is the most important experience in Scouts – to miss it is to miss out on what being a Scout is all about.

Scouts camp in Patrols and prepare and cook all meals for themselves and the leaders. The rest of the time you can look forward to activities such as
swimming volleyball visits and trips bivouacking
water slide park rope bridges

For safeguarding reasons you will need to complete a DBS Check – the new name for CRB. The form is available here Please get the form to your leader as soon as possible. Once processed you will be invited to confirm which ID documents you will be presenting for checking. After this, you will have to meet with us so we can see the ID and confirm it on the system.

If you have a scout DBS check from last 5 years, this is still valid so no need for the above process. A DBS from another body / employer is not acceptable.

Summer Camp 2016 – Poole Harbour Dorset

Another Summer Camp is over 🙁
17 Scouts and Leaders camped in a field on the banks of Poole Harbour with the only facility being one tap.
The weather was scorching and much time was spent in the lagoon, swimming, canoeing, diving, on the rope swing or just cooling off. With visits to the Tank Museum, Studland beach and a Total Wipeout course, plus cooking on open fires for the weekend the Scouts had a great time.
By just doing what we do, the Scouts gained many awards which will be presented at the first meeting back. Summer Camp is a vital part of a Scout’s progression.

This is a staged award – this means that the lower category might be a bit easier for you as it is aimed at younger members. Just pick the level you think you can do and let me know at the next meeting.
The requirements for each level can be found at Digital Citizen. Click the link!
Go on – have a go!

Jim Buckley

in News / Events
It is with great sadness we report the passing of Jim Buckley. Jim was a member of the 20th Sheffield (Ecclesall) Scout Group for over 70 years as a Wolf Cub, Scout, Rover and Leader.
He became Group Scout Leader in 1961, a position he held for over 30 years and on retirement became Honorary GSL and continued to support the Group until ill health prevented him.
It is impossible to say how many young people have had so many opportunities because of Jim’s decades of service. We will all miss him.
The picture above is the traditional Scout tracking sign which means gone home.
Jim’s funeral will be held at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium on Tuesday 31st March at 10.00am.
Family flowers only, donations to the Woodland Trust – more details will appear here when we have them.
