Cub Scouts Enjoy Weekend Activity Camp |
|
Over a weekend in May around 90 cub scouts (aged 8 to 11) enjoyed a weekend at the Bentley Copse Scout Camp Site for a weekend of activities with a pirate theme.
 As they arrived Friday evening each tent group designed and painted a flag.The activities included Archery, Crafts, Backwoods cooking, water rockets, caving, air rifle shooting, climbing, adventure course, aerial runway and firelighting.
On the Saturday evening we held a campfire, where the winners of the flag competition were announced. Catering was provided by a team of volunteers from our Scout Fellowship and other leaders/helpers.
We thank all the activity providers, leaders and helpers who ensured everyone involved had a great time.

2nd Godalming win Jim Short Challenge |
|
Congratulations to 2nd Godalming Cubs on winning the Jim Short Challenge beating SS Peter and Paul to first place by one point. Teams of cub scouts from SS Peter and Paul, Busbridge and Witley battled it out through various challenges: Scouting Knowledge Quiz; Knots; Union Flag; Compass work and building a flag pole. The event was run by the Godalming Scout Fellowship to whom we pass on our thanks. |

SS Peter & Paul Scouts enjoyed an afternoon exploring Merstham Mines led by Surrey Scout Caving Association. Commando crawling through a crevice just big enough for the scout leader, sitting in total darkness and wriggling through the ‘letter box’ to get out were all part of the experience |

Godalming Beavers support Haiti Earthquake Appeal |
|
The Beaver Scouts of SS Peter and Paul Scout Group took part in a week of sponsored activities in January in order to support the Haiti Earthquake Appeal. In total they raised an amazing total of £334.
The Beavers were encouraged to choose their own activities and obviously took the challenge to heart.
Some of the more popular activities were keeping bedrooms today for a week, getting ready for school on time, making beds and numerous other domestic chores. One Beaver demonstrated some promising business acumen by collecting lost golf balls and selling them back to golfers. Others chose physical challenges such as doing as many star jumps as they could in one minute.
It was obvious that parents influenced the choice of some of the activities. One Beaver was sponsored to not wake up Mummy and Daddy early in the morning and there was more than one sponsored silence!
This was a great experience for the Beavers and all for a good cause. |

New District Commissioner Appointed |
|
John Richardson has been appointed by Surrey County Commissioner, Richard Shortman, as the new District Commissioner for Godalming District Scouts from 21st October 2009.
John takes over from Phil Currie, acting District Commissioner since Graeme Redup stood down after 11 years in the role.
"This is an exciting time to be a District Commissioner with Scouting growing nationally. One of the biggest challenges will be to work with the talented leaders and helpers to grow Scouting in Godalming and encourage more adults to come forward to give the opportunities of scouting to more young people on our waiting lists."
