Please see the notice below inviting all Scouts and their family to a bonfire at the Scout Hut on Friday 4th November.

Please click on the link below to open the invite.

Bonfire invitation

We look forward to seeing you there.

With many of the schools on half term holiday next week, there will be no Troop meeting on Friday 28th October.

We hope you all enjoy your time off, and of course Halloween, and look forward to Scouts re-starting on Friday 4th November.  That meeting will be a bonfire for the Group and their families, and more information will be posted about that soon.

At Scouts we have many different items of equipment which are used on things like hikes, expeditions and activities at the headquarters.

Recently, an audit of our equipment has found that there are some items missing, mainly compasses.  It could be that they have been taken by accident, for example left in a coat pocket or in a rucksack.  We ask that you take some time to check and see if you have any Scout compasses (or other equipment) and return it to the next meeting.

No one will be in trouble if they return an item, and there will be a box on the table in the entrance hall where they can be placed.  We would just be grateful for some of the compasses coming back, as they are quite expensive to replace.

Thank you for your assistance.

The latest edition of ‘Troop News’ is available on the link below.

Don’t forget Scouts this Friday.

We will be meeting down at the hut as usual at 19:15 and with full uniform.

See you Friday.

Hopefully you all had a fantastic summer break.

Please note that the scout meetings start again on Friday 9th September at the usual time of 19:15 to 21:15.

Also, please add this date to your diary. We will be making a trip to Hag Dyke on the weekend of 14 to 16 October. Details and a letter will follow in the next couple of days.

I hope that you are all rested following camp last week, and are able to look back on some great memories.

Hopefully you are enjoying the Ilkley Week, especially if you are offering hospitality to our Dutch friends.

There are some photographs of Summer Camp posted on our Summer Camp 2011 page that you may want to look at.  We will continue to add pictures over the coming days.  At the ‘farewell’ party on Friday evening, there will also be a slide show of pictures from all sections for you to enjoy.

Keep checking back, because there will be more pictures posted.

With a couple of weeks to go before we set off to Cumbria on our Summer Camp, we have published an Information for Parents leaflet which gives you the details you need about camp.

Included in it is details of the following:

• The campsite and emergency contact details
• Personal equipment
• Pocket money
• Health information
• Timetable of events

A copy of this leaflet will be kept on the Summer Camp 2011 page of this web site.
