It's never quiet for the Scouts

We're now half way through the first term and I have no idea where the time has gone.

We've been delighted to welcome a few new Scouts since we went back in August which had brought our numbers up to 17 Scouts.

The Scouts have been working on their Promise challenge award and as well as discussing activities that they'd like to do in their Troop Forum, they have debates about 'global issues' such as war and poverty and they were challenged to think about what they could do to help draw attention to how unfair these issues are.

It's not really the time of year now for doing outdoor activities but that hasn't stopped us brushing up on practical Scouting skills such as knotting (the edible style) or improving our Patrols' team working skills using A4 sheets of paper.

With the Promise Challenge almost finished, we're turning our thoughts to the Fitness Challenge next to keep them out of mischief!

Intrigued? Why not pop down and join us one Thursday night.
