Our cubs took part in a community planting event last week along with Schools and other comminity groups, enjoy their planting outside the Odeon Studio cinema and read all about it on the local news site: https://richmond.nub.news/news/local-news/richmond-schoolchildren-help-town-centre-bloom-for-summer-234702
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!
Come and find us on Richmond green on Saturday, as the May Fair is back in Richmond – and we’ll be there with a giant tombola amongst all of the charity stalls. We’re stall #128 near where the paths cross at the back of the audience area for the stage. Look our for our North Richmond flags! (and hopefully it’ll be sunny!)
Cubs were busy cooking Korean food tonight: noodles and chocolate dipping sticks; all towards both their cooks badge and the special district Korea challenge badge for activities related to this year’s World Scout Jamboree in Korea
It is with great sadness we learn of the passing of our Patron, HM Queen Elizabeth II. Rest in Peace, your Majesty, from us and Scouts around the world.
We’d like to wish everybody a safe and Merry Christmas, and a very happy new Year.
See you all in 2022 for the new term!
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.
…all Leaders in Scouting hold a first aid qualification and renew it every three years? (which is what three of our leaders are doing now!) 
A fantastic turn-out from parents and members of all sections at the group open evening, AGM and awards night tonight. It was so good to finally see all of the group back together again after so long. Well done to all of the award winners, and everyone who came down to support the group.
We’re very happy, for the first time in 18 months, to finally be able to get some Cubs back into the Scout Hut for our last Cub meeting before the summer holidays!
(And we also managed to get some of those who couldn’t make it as they were away early or isolating to join us on zoom at the end too!)
It’s the final Scouts night this Friday, and then we return with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts in the first week of September.
We hope you all have a good summer break, and look forward to seeing everyone in the Autumn.
