Thank you to those Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who helped with bag packing at the Trading Post – we raised £298.98 for group funds.
Walberton Cub Camp Poem
Cub Camp
In August we all went to Cub camp
We sat by the fire,no need for a lamp!
We slept in our tents and felt quite content
In the morning our breakfast was yummy 😉
We walked to the swimming pool, our bags on our backs
It was good fun no doubt about that!
Akela, Bagheera, King Louie, Baloo,
I’d like to say a big thank you to you.

Scouts Camp at West Dean July 2013
The Scout Troop camped for the weekend of July 5th to 7th at West Dean – the campsite of Chichester District. A great weekend was had by everyone. Congratulations to Simon Wright, who completed his Nights Away Permit at this camp and thanks to Nicky Poulter, who helped Simon with it. There are more pictures in the Gallery.
Cubs Get Posh!
Cubs at Barnham had a seriously upmarket visit on July 17th. Helped by Dads and Leaders who worked there, Rolls Royce Cars sent a brand new car to Walberton to show the Cubs there. The Cubs were given a lively presentation about how cars are designed and built and were then allowed to inspect the latest product of Rolls Royce. There are also rumours that they were driven around the field in it. Our thanks go to everyone at Rolls Royce Cars who made this fascinating and unforgetable evening possible. The picture below shows the Cubs with the car. There are more pictures in the Gallery.
Barnham Wins District talent Competition
At the District Centenary Camp in May, 1st Barnham won the Leaders’ Section of Camp’s Got Talent with their interpretation of Synchronised Swimming. The Scouts and Cubs were also adjudged to be the best entry in their section of the event. A fantastic evening was had by everyone, which was only slightly marred by untold millions of midges who chose that night to do whatever midges do. The picture below is the trophy which we won. Well done everybody!
Scouts Win Dragon Boating Again!
Sunday June 2nd 2013
For the second year running, 1st Barnham Scout Troop won the Youth Section of the Charity Dragon Boat Racing organised by the Rotary Club on Chichester canal and basin. Watched by a large crowd, our boat beat 2nd Bognor Sea Scouts in the final by the smallest of margins – half a Dragon’s head. Congratulations to all the participants for their stirling efforts and to Simon for organising everything. We all look forward to retaining our title against all comers next year.
The 2 pictures below are of our boat just winning in the final and the winning crew posing after their victory. There are more pictures in the Gallery.
Wood Badge for Helen Woolgar
We were delighted that Helen Woolgar was presented with her Wood Badge by the District Commissioner at the Centenary Camp at Ferny Crofts in the New Forrest. All Scout Leaders are required to undertake an extensive training course in all aspects of Scouting. When this is completed, the “Wood Badge” is awarded – this consists of two wooden beads on a leather thong worn around the neck and is a replica of beads from a necklace given to Robert Baden Powell in Africa.
Congratulations, Helen!

Cubs at Barnham Clear Churchyard & Plant Tree
The Cub Pack at Barnham spent a considerable time during April 2013 clearing and tidying the churchyard at Barnham Parish Church. Before they started, it was in great need of attention; after they finished, it was a churchyard of which everyone could be proud.
When the tidying was completed, the Cubs planted a Beech Tree to celebrate the Centenary of Arundel and Littlehampton Scout District, of which 1st Barnham Scout Group is a constituent. A plaque was installed by the tree to mark the event.
Photographs of the work and the tree planting can be found in the Gallery on this website. The picture below shows the Cubs after they had tidied the churchyard and planted their tree.
