A really excellent trip to Windsor in early October for the group, invited by the Household Cavalry to watch the changing of the guards at Windsor Castle, and then tour around their barracks and stables afterwards.
Coincidently the soldier who showed us around used to be a scout at 2nd Teddington in the 90s, and his father was group scout leader and an assistant district commissioner for Twickenham district!
Well done for an amazing turn out from all sections the group for the Remembrance Sunday parade in Richmond today, and to all who helped spruce up our Remembrance painting on the old British Legion Building this week for another year.
After a year without a parade or service last year thanks to COVID, it was good to be able join again with other Scout Groups, youth services, cadets organisations, the police, Royal British Legion, Mayor and many from around Richmond – including some remaining old soldiers who used to meet in the Richmond British Legion – to remember for those who had given their lives at times of war for us, something we have always done as a group each year over many generations of leaders and young people.
The Scouts were doing some fire-lighting outside the Scout Hut tonight. All socially distanced and also proving you can light fires in the rain! 🔥⛈ (groups 2 and 3 will get a turn over the next two weeks)
Our Scout Troop is back tonight, for a first in-person meeting for six months – and off in a socially distanced short nature hike. It’s been great to get everyone back in person this week!!
Beavers made their return to face-to-face scouting tonight. Games, silliness and songs, all socially distanced. 💙
First time the Cubs have been together in person since March. It’s good to finally be back and not using zoom!
Yesterday, as we can’t get together, the Leaders, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers from the group celebrated St George’s day by wearing their uniforms while our on their daily exercise, at the clap for carers and then renewed their Scout Promise either at home with their family, or joining in online with the rest of Richmond Scout District
All Cub Scouts undertake the Cub Scout Promise and are expected to observe the Cub Scout Law. The Cubs did a Promise Scramble and practiced saying the Promise off by heart.Â
Time for a sign update at the hut!
