Having got the trek cart out to show it off at our Historical afternoon teas, the Scout leaders challenged the Scouts to take it to camp with them in December.
Bobcat and Lynx held a joint overnight camp at the sow and pigs field. This was a fitting end to our centenary year.
The Scouts rose to the challenge, loaded up the Cart, made sure Gus was with them and off they went. They found it surprisingly easy to pull/push the cart and enjoyed this novel experience.
The Scouts enjoyed their night and woke to a frosty field, but a campfire and a good breakfast soon warmed everyone up.
A short video of the Ware & District Centenary Christmas party.
Centenary thanksgiving service in our founding church. Witness the Vicar juggle, mixed generations pitch a tent front and back of church, view many people trying to work out where photos went on a timeline (and which knots to use to tie them on) and so much more.
Despite the fact the GSL had lost his voice, it was still a lively and fast moving service which really celebrated the Group and what Scouting means to us all and how much difference it makes in our lives.
If you were there you will know what I am talking about, if not have a look at this small taste of the service.
Congratulations also go to Richard who was awarded his wood beads and to Lynx Troop who saw their colours dedicated.
Afterward we all retired to the HQ for tea, coffee, cake and history. A great social time and a wonderful way to round off the weekend.
As one of our Centenary Celebration events, a number of 3rd Ware Leaders, past members and Young Leaders went white water rafting at the new Olympic Lee Valley White Water Centre. Watch this video to see more...
