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.

We moved into the New Village Hall on May 7th.

With several times the space that we had in the old hall, there is room for greatly improved activities. We have a small room for storage and have recently taken delivery of four metal storage cabinets and four lockable notice boards. There will be one of each for each section – Beavers, Cubs and Scouts – and one of each for general use.

The first evening got off to a great start with exciting activities for Beavers and Cubs, followed by motor racing for the Troop. The photographs show the New hall from outside, the Old Hall on its very last day of existence and Scouts racing their cars.

Barnham Sections were busy in late October making Guys for the Barnham Best Guy Competition. A splendid selection of Guys was the result, many of them bearing uncanny resemblances to Leaders in the Group! We are delighted and proud that the Guy submitted by the Scout Troop came second overall and won a valuable cash prize. Here he is. Who does he resemble?

Our Scout District – Arundel & Littlehampton – celebrates its Centenary in 2013. All young members in the District were invited to design a badge to be worn on uniform throughout 2013. Unable to chose a single badge, the final badge was a combination of elements from the designs of 3 members. One of these was Henry Poulter, a Cub at the time of the entry but now a Scout. Congratulations, Henry! Below is a picture of Henry receiving the first copy of the badge from Mark Hewson.
