The new term starts soon with the first meeting on Friday 4th September 2015

We hope you have all had a good summer holiday, and that those who went to summer camp in Holland have plenty of good memories to look back on.  The new term starts on Friday 4th September.  We will be meeting at the Scout Hut at the usual time of 19:15 to 21:15.  Please wear full uniform.  A programme for the new term will be published shortly.

There is an opportunity to collect the camp week bags sooner than originally intended.

The children’s camp week bags are returning to Ilkley this weekend and there will be an opportunity for you to collect them earlier than we originally advised.  The camp week bags will be available to collect from the Scout Hut between 18:00 and 19:00 on Sunday 9th August.

If you are not able to collect at that time then bags must be collected at the original time of 14:00 on Saturday 15th August 2015.

The blog has been updated with the final full day in camp.

Wharfedale District is holding the annual Torch Race on Friday 8th May, and 1st Ben Rhydding are entering a team as usual.

For those of you who don’t know what the Torch Race is, it is a relay race from Otley town centre to the top of Otley Chevin.  It takes place every year and includes teams from almost all the Group’s in the District.

If you are part of the Torch Race team:

You must meet at the top of Station Road in Otley at 18:50 promptly.  You must be in full, smart uniform with your running kit on underneath.  This is because there will be an inspection by the District Commissioner before the race starts.  You should be collected from the top of Otley Chevin at 20:30.

If you are not part of the team:

We encourage you to come along and support our team.  Please meet at the top of Otley Chevin at 19:30 and be collected from the same location at 20:30.

Best of luck to all in who are running.
