All sections were invited and we had a great turn out, with just under 40 young people and a further 20 adults.

A huge thank you goes out to all the parents/guardians/young people who prepared cakes and sweet treats for us, and to all those who provided enough sharing bags of crisps to fill everyone!

The Young People (and leaders!) took part in many activities such as Climbing, Fire Lighting, Gladiator Challenge, the Drop, and most exciting of all (at least according to us leaders) Pedal Karting!

Every single one of our Cubs and Beavers was incredibly adventurous and absolutely deserves their badge! We are so proud of how they all did.

Leaders from across the sections came together, with some of the eldest Scouts and their families to clean, paint, weed, repair, declutter and revamp our Hut and Grounds!

The event aimed to freshen up aspects of our Hut and make the place more accessible, welcoming and bright, as well as tackling some major problems, such as the overgrown back and side. But more than that, it also encouraged a sense of community amongst the 30 or so volunteers who gave up parts/all of their weekend to help us with this mammoth task.

Some key highlights of the weekend were:

• Sanding and revarnishing the lockers
• Repainting the outside wall
• Installing new (bigger) notice boards inside, so we can display even more about the activities that we regularly do
• Retaping the octagon on the floor
• Working on the 1st Cippenham sign to restore it to how it looked 60 years ago

But it doesn’t just stop there. See if you can notice any of the other changes we’ve made the next time you’re in the hut!

Thanks to all the volunteers for their hard work and dedication, making the Scout hut a better place for everyone.

The 90th camp marked a resounding success as attendees enjoyed the celebrations with an unpredictable weather forecast. Over 108 participants engaged in various afternoon activities, including building the tallest flagpole and an innovative duck rescue from a perforated drainpipe. These hands-on experiences offered parents a glimpse into the adventurous spirit of their children’s camping trips.

A memorable highlight of the day was an impromptu flypast by the Red Arrows, adding an unexpected thrill to the event.

As evening approached, everyone gathered for a hearty dinner prepared by Ben and the scouts, featuring Stew, Veggie Bolognese with pasta, and a delightful homemade cake with custard. The night continued around a large campfire circle, where past group members were invited back to join the celebrations. Dan led the group in singing and dancing to traditional songs, including the children’s favourite, “Yellow Bird with a Yellow Bill,” much to their parents’ amusement.

The following morning, a robust breakfast fueled the participants for the sedan chair race, where parents raced through woods and mounds, solving an anagram and competing to retain the most water in a bucket. The competitive spirit display confirmed that the children’s zeal is inherited from their parents. Young leaders kept the children entertained with a game of puttocks while parents enjoyed a much-deserved rest. A quick lunch followed, leading to the camp’s conclusion with a heartfelt thank you to all participants.

The 90th camp stands as a testament to community spirit and the enduring appeal of traditional scouting activities.

Here’s to another 90 years!
