2025 COMPETITIONS

It is now the halfway point for the competitions. Scout of the Month for June was Kaden. Patrol of the Month was Eagles, who haven’t won it since February 2023. This moves them up to joint third in Patrol of the year, with Merlins just two points ahead and Swifts back at the top by just one further point.

BUCKS 2025

GLIDING - Saturday 5th\Sunday 6th July

We have been given the opportunity for a 'Gliding Experience' with Essex & Suffolk Gliding Club. We can only take a maximum of 10 per session. The sessions will start at 5pm, Scouts will need to arrive by 4.30pm.

The experience consists of a single winch launch leading to a soaring flight of approximately 8 to 12 minutes. Time in the air is very dependent on the time of year and the weather conditions at the time of the flight. The flying tuition will be in one of the club's two-seater gliders with a British Gliding Association qualified instructor, who will give you a full briefing before take off. The instructor will endeavour to give you sufficient time in the air to become acquainted with the thrill of flight and to enjoy the panorama below you. During the flight you will be instructed on the effects of the controls, and should you wish, you can take the controls and fly the glider yourself.

BATTLE TAG LASER GAMES - Friday 11th July

We have booked an evening at Battle Tag exclusively for us. Battle Tag is Arena based and uses new special state of the art LaserTag guns that bring the game to the next level.  The guns incorporate the latest laser technology, making the guns much more accurate, and providing a huge range of special FX and weapon options.  This gives them the ability to create game scenarios that replicate your favourite video games (like Battle Royale).

BattleTag Players are divided into teams and start by competing in a practice game to hone their skills and get used to firing the laser gun. Then there's a mix of Tug Of War,  Team Deathmatch (Elimination), Battle Royale and other games for a fun and energetic event. The shrinking map entices players to be more strategic about their actions.

THE OSCARS - Friday 24th January

What a fantastic evening of looking back and celebrating everything the Scouts done and achieved during 2024. Loads of happy smiling faces as the young people received their awards and then partied hard at the after show disco party.

Take a look at all the results, and a number of vides from the night by clicking on the logo.
