Snowdon 500 – A challenge for Prostate Cancer
16 May 2009
On the 16th May 2009, Scout Leader Carl, (Skip), Assistant Scout Leader Andy (Padge) and Group Scout Leader Ben, will be undertaking the Snowdon 500 challenge. We are trekking to the top of Snowdon, the highest mountain peak in England & Wales to raise money for Prostate cancer.
We are hoping to raise at least £2000.00 between us. If you would like to make a donation which would be gratefully received, or offer anything in the way of sponsorship, equipment, clothing etc, then likewise that would also be gratefully received.
It's quite easy to donate, just click on this link or visit www.justgiving.com/carlwalters
Carl has been involved in raising money for breast cancer & Ashgate Hospice for the last three years, and Weston Park hospital this year. Let's do something for the men who suffer from this terrible disease.
Please give generously, even if you can only afford a few pence it will be gratefully received. Together, we can make a difference.
Thanks, Carl, Ben, Andy.

12th December meeting
Just a reminder to those of you who didn't bring the cameras back last week, they must be in this Friday in order for you to qualify for your badge. Don't forget the £2.00 donation towards the costs please.
As you know we discussed the video production we are going to do, the best idea so far was Jacob's "Amarillo" style introduction. We will start filming after Christmas and have to mock up some different locations to film, so keep making a note of your ideas.
Sunday the 14th is bag packing at Sainsbury's, you should have had a letter notifying you about it by now, if not please give me a call.
The meeting on Friday 19th will be held at the same time as the cubs. We are doing a joint night, bring a burger or sausage and breadroll as we will be having a christmas tin can cook night, seeing as everyone enjoyed it so much last time, this time though yo will have longer to cook. You will also be cooking for the cubs, so all of you Jamie Oliver's out there, you get to shine. We will also be presenting the outstanding badges you have earned.
Finally here's a slideshow of a few of the pics from the Staveley climbing wall night taken by Padge and put together by me. Hope you enjoy it.
See you all Friday, don't forget the camera's!!

Photography task
Okay, here's just a reminder what subjects you need to capture for the photo assignment:
5 portrait picture
5 landscape pictures
5 still life pictures
5 animal or pet pictures.
Remember, don't make them all the same, do some close ups, mid range and distant pictures. You can be as creative as you like.
Bring the cameras back with you next week and make sure you have your name written on them. Don't forget to ask your parents for a £2.00 donation towards the cost of developing.
I will be posting the program for next term in the next few days so make sure you check it. There will also be a PDF download available so you can download and print off a paper copy.
Me and Ben had a meeting the other night and discussed the new patrols which will be implimented at the start of next term. There have been a few changes but hopefully everyone will be happy with the patrols they will be in. Whilst we have tried to keep most people together there may be a couple who have to change patrols, hopefully you will accept the changes and get on and thoroughly enjoy the new year and the program we have come up with. As you are all aware this term we have lost a few of the older scouts and we have new ones coming up. This has been the reason for the changes in patrols, so that we have equal numbers and experience in each patrol. We have also selected some new patrol leaders and also assistant patrol leaders.
By forming new patrols it will enable us to get the rewards points scheme working and because you have equal numbers in your patrols the scoring of points will be a more fair system as you all have the same chance to earn the same points.
So you are all aware this weekend I have completed a course so that we can have a proper shooting night and for those of you interested can take you through your Master of Arms award. One of the things we discussed on the course was getting an inter scout group shooting competition up and running with a possibility of having regular teams. Watch this space, but if you are interested let me know.
See you all this Friday.
