If you have any questions, please ask a leader.

The overnight camp advertised on the programme for 9th March will now be a sleepover.

Unfortunately, due to a booking at the Scout Hut for a children’s birthday party we are unable to do the planned overnight winter camp on Friday 9th March.  Instead, this will be a sleepover and will finish at 09:30 on Saturday 10th March.

Please see the letters and permission form by clicking on the links below.

The BIG CAMP has proved to be very popular with our Scouts, but all spaces have now been taken so we cannot accept any more bookings.

Keep an eye on the web site for more news about BIG CAMP as we get closer to the event.

Scouts re-starts tonight after the half term holiday.

We will be meeting at the Scout Hut at the normal time of 19:15, and will be making pancakes.  Make sure you come in uniform, but also bring on old t-shirt to change into if you want. Pancakes can be a messy business.

BIG CAMP Letter No.2

In the next few days there will be a BIG CAMP page on this website which will hold all the information we have about the event.

If you have any questions, please ask a Leader.

The Spring Programme has now been published.

To check out the programme, please visit the ‘Programme‘ page where you can see a copy and download one to print and keep.

The weather mean that the programme can change, so please remember to check the web site every week for an update.

There are no more spaces available for Ice Skating.

All available spaces for Ice Skating have now been taken, so we cannot accept anyone else.

Don’t forget, if you are not going skating then there is no meeting on Friday.  The next full meeting at the Scout Hut will be on Friday 24th February, as next week is half term.

On Friday we are going Ice Skating, but you must have booked a place.

The arrangements for the ice skating are:

Meet at Ben Rhydding Station at 18.30 to catch the train to Leeds
Return to Ben Rhydding Station at 21.30

You must wear warm clothing, inlcuding gloves and waterproofs and wear your scout neckerchief.  You may bring some money for sweets if required.

We have 33 spaces booked so far we have a few spaces left, if you require a space please book by Wednesday at the latest.  To book a place, email us at leaders@1stbenrhyddingscouts.org.uk

If you have not booked do not turn up at the station as there will not be a place for you.  If you are not skating then there is no scouts on Friday night.

The district quiz is on this Thursday, 2nd February (not last Thursday as we originally told you) so there is still an opportunity to join in.

If you want to take part in the district quiz as a 1st Ben Rhydding team then come along and join us on Thursday evening.

We will meet at 19:15 sharp at Otley Methodist Church, and you should be collected at 21:00. Full uniform must be worn.

If you are going to the Panto on Friday night, don’t forget that we are meeting outside the tourist information centre at 19:00 and you should be collected from the same place at the end of the Panto.

If you are not going to the Panto on Friday, then there is no Scout meeting this week.

The Scouts are planning a trip to the Panto and Ice Skating

On Friday 3rd February we are planning to go and watch the Upstagers 2012 Pantomime, and on Friday 10th February we plan to go ice skating.
