Our Scout troop had a great evening at The Maurice Chandler Sports and Leisure Centre on Thursday. We had the roller rink to ourselves for an hour; lots of determination on show, alongside comedy moments!
Then we played football, badminton and table tennis, though no photos here as the leaders were having too much fun getting stuck in 🤣🥵⚽️🏸🏓

This weekend our Beavers and Cubs had an awesome time at Beaudesert Outdoor Activity Centre.
They spent two nights there, in bunk accommodation, and took part in loads of amazing adventurous activities.
So many new experiences, life skills learned, independence gained and friendships made ❤️
Some very happy and tired children delivered safely home, and some even more tired leaders glad of a bath and their own beds 🤣

This week 1st Wem marked “Love your burial ground week” at Whitchurch Road Cemetery.
We were able to help out with a number of tasks usually carried out by a small volunteer group.
The Beavers learned about the wonderful flora on the site and spruced up the Bug Hotel
The Cubs planted more snowdrop bulbs amongst other tasks.
The Scouts did a large array of tidying jobs; sweeping the front, tidying one of the Eckford family graves, clearing brambles etc.
The Explorers painted a large section of new fencing and provided some planters for the marker stone for all of the children buried in the cemetery.

A great job all round…thanks to all those who helped, and those who help keep this amazing place going year round 👏

Congratulations to our older Scouts for completing their expedition this weekend; 15 miles hiked with full kit, navigating and camping overnight by themselves, with minimal leader interaction.
They laughed their way through the weekend and smashed it 👊

Our Scouts all had a great time Rock Climbing and Abseiling over the last couple of weeks at Grinshill with our amazing county climbing team.
A great adventure and some fears conquered, well done all for getting stuck in 👍

Well done to five of our older Scouts who hiked over 7 miles on Saturday, carrying full kit as a practice for their expedition challenge.
They packed, hiked, navigated and camped on their own, with minimal input from the leaders…they were sore, especially after an unplanned detour at Grinshill 🤣 but did really well and are ready for their final expedition in a few weeks.

This is to fund a large Ready, Steady, Cook style event with our group, where our young people will learn about budgeting, healthy eating, meal planning and cooking...they then get to cook a 2-course meal at home with their family, and show off their skills with their fellow Scouts 🍎🥕🥔🍅🧅🥦
