The first meeting back after the summer holidays is on Friday 20th September.

Although you have all returned to School after the summer holidays, Scouts does not start back until Friday 20th September.  The meeting time remains as 19:15 to 21:15, and we look forward to seeing you all and starting the new Scouting year.

Unfortunately there is a delay to the train from Cromford back to Ilkley.  The Scouts on the train are Adam, Jacob, Nea, Matthew, Sam, Oliver B, Nathan.  Further message to be posted, or you will be called when the extent of the delay is known.

As summer camp for this year draws to a close we are preparing for our return to Ilkley.

We have had a fantastic week on camp, and in advance of our return home we wanted to share a few pictures of what we have been doing. These show some of the watersports the Scouts were doing earlier in the week.

More will follow over the coming days and weeks.
