REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY - 10th NOVEMBER

On Sunday 10th November we will be taking a leading part in the Remembrance Day Parade and Service in Silver End.  We will meet at THE SCOUT HQ at 10am in order to parade to the village hall and join in the service.  We will be parading back to THE SCOUT HQ after the service.  We are normally finished by around midday.

Please make sure you wear full smart uniform.  This means navy blue or dark trousers or skirts (no jeans) and dark shoes or trainers.  Please can you also make sure all your badges are on and in the correct positions (you can check in OSM).  Any 2023 or earlier event badges should be removed (i.e. Netherlands 2023, JOTI-JOTA 2023).  You will need to wear a woggle on your scarf for the parade which will be handed out on the day and collected in afterwards.  Please make sure you wash, iron and re-roll your scarf for the parade so you look really smart.  You will also need a poppy and some change for the collection during the service if possible.

As this is such an important day, we expect everyone to be there.  Scouts are only asked to give up one Sunday mornings a year for a parade and service so it’s not asking a lot.  Especially when you consider the amount of weekend, evenings, and annual leave from work, and unpaid leave from work Leaders give up to put on all the other activities Scouts enjoy. If you cannot make it for a real genuine reason, please can you let a Leader know, otherwise we expect every Scout to be there.

Let’s show the village we are paying our respects to those that gave up their freedom for ours…

NINJA WARRIOR - 20th DECEMBER

For our end of term 'Christmas outing' this year, we will be going to Ninja Warrior in Chelmsford on Friday 20th December.

The normal cost is £14.95 per person (+ cost of socks). We have arrange a special price of only £10 per Scout, but this doesn't include the socks.

As we know quiet a few already have Ninja Warrior socks from either going on Summer Camp this year or having previously visited the venue with friends and family, it would be fair to charge everyone for the socks. If anyone requires them, they can be purchased on the day at £2.50 a pair.

To book a place, please accept this invite or visit the Parent Portal in OSM.

CZECHIA 2025

Our next International Summer Camp will be to Czechia (Czech Republic). Staying in a hostel on the outskirts of Prague there will be the normal mix of activities (some very unique), educational activities and trips further afield.

Bookings are now open. For a copy of the info booklet click here and to watch the promo film click here.

For more information or to book a place, please speak to a leader.

HERTS 2024 - SUMMER CAMP

POLSKI 2024

After the success of our first ski trip in 2020, we returned to the Polish slopes for another week of skiing and apres ski activities.

There wasn’t as much snow as previous years, but was enough on the nursery slopes that the Scouts used for the 3 days of lessons.

A couple of other activities had to be changes too due to lack of snow, but an awesome time was still had by all.

THE OSCARS - FRIDAY 26th JANUARY 2024

What a fantastic evening of looking back and celebrating everything the Scouts done and achieved during 2023. 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.
