Its Airspace!

...very bouncy!

There was not much responce to the group chat so I didnt booked it until the really last minute -we did it over the blog by eventbrite like we used to do for scouts! Everyone signed up here has a ticket and our Unit meeting for 1 December is at Airspace. (no meeting at the hut)

See below for details and consent form!






OK - I waited until 9:00 the night before before closing the bookings and reserving our places! Everyone booked up on the blog has a ticket now and you should have had a phone call/answerphone message from me or Phil giving details of where we will get you from to drive you there - dont forget the consent (below) and bring your bouncing hat!

If we go there will need to be a form of course... 
Here it is!

Livin in a box

Its Corbet Award evening on Thursday so our meeting this week will be at the hut on Friday 25th November 8:00pm to 9:30am on Saturday (or earlier if you've stuff to do...


It's down on our prog as Shelterbox Night, but we've done lots of fundraising for overseas charity with our Nepal expedition so it seemed like a good idea to support something closer to home...

We will raise a donation to support 'The Ark' - Shrewsbury's charity supporting homeless people in the area, particularly important as a safety net to help those finding things falling apart at this time of year. 

We will make our own makeshift shelters and sleep overnight - out in the open if its nice, but if the weather is bad, we can be indoors in the hut, and we'll cook a good full English breakfast in the morning and remember how fortunate we are!

Bring a cardboard house (I'll bring a spare box or two...) and a £10 note (or whatever you can afford...) to donate to The Ark.

We will have a speaker from The Ark to tell us about their work and receive our donation!

As an overnight thing we need a consent form...

Remembrance Sunday Parade 2016









Alan and I would like to thank everyone who was able to attend the Remembrance Sunday Parade.  We were both extremely proud of your smartness and attitude.

Thank you.

Remembrance day parade



Please wear Explorer shirt (tucked in!) and necker (Boreatton if you have it or else District), school trousers and polished school shoes.  We won't wear a coat unless the parade marshal says we can so a couple of thermal tee shirts under your shirt may be a good idea (if previous parades are anything to go by!).

We will meet at 10.10AM at the Admiral Duncan carpark in Baschurch and will finish the parade around 12.20 in Millington Close.  Please wear a poppy, left hand side of your shirt above your International Scout badge, and don't forget some change for the collection.  Mums, Dads and siblings are very welcome to attend the service.

there's been a murder!

Semyon Kamenev has been found with a bullet to the head on the train from Kathmandu to Moscow... (distressingly not so uncommon in Stalin's 1930s Soviet Russia). You are all under suspicion! Come dressed suitably as good comrades from the depths of the 1937 Siberian winter to defend yourself by uncovering the murderer!
