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.
SUCCESS IN DISTRICT SWIMMING GALA
Congratulations to the Cubs swimming teams. After a swim off for final positions, the Barnham Pack finished third in the District and the Walberton Pack fourth. Well Done!

Another Triumph for 1st Barnham. Dragon Boat Racing. June 10th 2012
The Scout Troop, ably assisted by some older Cubs and supported by a large number of parents and leaders, acquitted themselves splendidly in the Chichester Dragon Boat Races on Chichester Canal and Basin. Finishing 1st in the young persons’ section was a wonderful result; they won in the final by, quite literally, about 10% of a Dragon’s head! Second place went to Felpham Sea Scouts, whose crew included several 1st Barnham members too!
Congratulations to all our participants.
We will undoubtedly be there next year. One of our Mums has offered to enter a parents’ team, so watch out for this.

1st Barnham Scout Troop Triumphs in District Incident Hike.
Arundel and Littlehampton Scout District organised an Incident Hike for Scouts during the 2nd weekend in May 2012. Teams had to complete a navigation hike and complete various tasks during the hike. Ours wae the only Troop to enter more than one team – we had 3 entries. All 3 teams finished well up in the league table, with one of our teams taking FIRST PLACE! This is a great achievement and deserved congratulations from everyone in the Group. Well done!
