We kicked off in April with Sioux Cub Pack enjoying a swashbuckling Sleepover with a Pirate theme. This was just the first of many nights away from home for our sections, later in the spring Crusoe Scout Troop enjoyed a weekend camp at Great Yews near Salisbury, in late July Sioux Cub Pack had a week long Summer Camp at Linkenholt and in August Mohican Cub Pack had a weekend Summer Camp at our own Scout HQ. In June our Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs had a fantastic trip to Longleat, along with 100’s of Beaver & Cub Scouts from Scout Groups across Hampshire. After a well earned summer break our sections were back in the Autumn for another fun-filled term of Scouting. We had a great turnout of walkers walking for the group at the Rotary Test Way Walk. Our supporters raised over £600 for the group at this event. We held our annual Fireworks evening in early November with members and parents from all sections and from the Explorer Unit enjoying a spectacular Fireworks display followed by Hot Dogs and Hot Chocolate. This term was rounded off by the District Carol Service with a great turnout from the group. In the new year work was started on a major landscaping project to clear many years of overgrown vegetation and create an environment designed to support our Scouting programme. 100’s of hours of work was completed by members and supporters of the group to transform our grounds. One of the highlights of this is the planting of the Willow Avenue which when fully formed will give us a spectacular archway leading from the main part of the field to the Campfire Circle. At Easter we said farewell to Akela and Shere Khan from Mohican Cub Pack. Together Steve Woodrow (Akela) and Margaret Cantello (Shere Khan) had supported Scouting and the Group for over 50 years. We thank them and their families for their help and friendship for all of that time. They will continue to support us in the future in other roles as they continue to be part of the Group family. Finally I would like to thank the Scouters, the members of the Group Executive, Parents and Supporters for the time that they give throughout the year to enable 10th Romsey Scout Group to continue to provide an exciting Scouting programme across all of our sections.
