Scouts, Cubs and Beavers

This has been a very busy year for all our sections.

We have twenty Scouts and two Leaders. The Scouts have enjoyed a very full year of activities, camps and hikes aplenty.

The Cubs members are at thirty with one Leader trained and three others in training; but still doing the job. This is the second largest group in the District. The Cubs have been working hard on project work completing lots of badges.

The Beavers have eighteen children, two trained Leaders and one working towards their qualifications. The Beavers have also been working on attaining their badges.

All sections have been to Duxford this year to do their Air Activities badge. It was a cold wet and windy day, but all achieved their badges.

This is Scouting’s Centenary years. There will be a big District Camp at Haughley Oark over the spring bank holiday weekend. There are over 400 young people expected to attend.

Talking of birthdays, it’s now been 20 years since Scouting was re-introduced to Debenham. Two of the original team are still active in our group. Ron Walters is our Group Scout Leader and Tamara Walters is our Beaver Scout Leader. Many thanks to them all for their hard work over the years. Of course these thanks are also extended to all of our Leaders who contribute so much to our Scouting children.
