Thank you to the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who took part in the litter pick on 21st June. The Community Week badge can be worn on your uniform on the top left-hand shoulder – but leave room for your Jamboree badge too!

If you were unable to attend the litter pick, you will be able to obtain the badge if you bring a donation along to our AGM on 1st July for Chestnut Tree House and Stone Pillow.

On Saturday 10th May, approx. 60 1st Barnham members took part in JOTT.

Jamboree On The Trail is an annual day for the World Scout Movement to hike together. All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Leaders, whatever their age and wherever they may be in the world, were invited to participate in whatever way they can.

Photo’s are on the gallery page.

The badges are for camp blankets (not uniform)!

CONGRATULATIONS to Mark Guy for receiving the Chief Scout’s Commendation for Good Service.

The Chief Scout’s Commendation for Good Service is given in respect of not less than 5 years good service, which stands out. It should be regarded as the Chief Scout’s recognition of the very real contribution made to the Association by the individual concerned.

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!

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.

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!
