st 1 Tadcaster Scout Group Bowness to Tadcaster Sponsored Walk Friday 29th June to Sunday 1st July 2018 A welcome from John Swift Group Scout Leader, 1st Tadcaster Scout Group. We are inviting everyone associated with the group, past or present, to get involved in an exciting forthcoming sponsored hike in aid of Bloodwise. The group are recreating a sponsored walk that took part 26 years ago, partly in aid of Leukaemia, and are hoping to raise £5000 for the charity. Parents and families are invited to take part in two sections of the walk, Beckermonds to Kettlewell and Wetherby to Tadcaster. T-shirts and wristbands will be on sale at meetings between now and the event, to help advertise the event and help towards our £5000 target. T- shirts are £5 each, wristbands £1. Scouts and supporters do not need a t- shirt to take part, but those who do purchase one can wear this if they so wish over the course of the weekend. Charity and collection buckets are also available if anyone is able to display one. We also have two fantastic prizes available for the Cub and Scout/ Explorer who raise the most funds for the walk. For more information please email me at [email protected] Walk Schedule & Transport Arrangements An interactive map of the route waypoints is available on the website at www.tadcaster-scouts.org.uk, or by following the QR code shown here. The schedule for the walk is shown on the following page. Please note that the 14 young people walking in each team, plus the 2 Leaders, will be transported by minibus from Tadcaster to the start point of their section. They will then be transported by minibus back to Tadcaster when they have completed their section. This will also apply to the Cub Team for Section 5. Any additional Cubs, parents, siblings and supporters will need to make their own way to Kettlewell where we have a designated car park (cost £3 for the day). From this car park they will be transported by minibuses to the start point of that section at Beckermonds. On returning to Kettlewell all additional walkers can then return home. The Cub team will be transported back to Tadcaster by minibus. For Team 10 all Cubs, parents, siblings and supporters will be transported to Wetherby if they require transport. It is expected that these participants will continue all the way back into Tadcaster. All Beavers, parents and supporters for Team 11 will be transported from Tadcaster to the start point at Newton Kyme and then walk back to Tadcaster. Refreshments will be supplied to all walkers at change-over points, but each walker will be required to carry a backpack with additional drinks and snacks for the duration of the walk.
