FROM HUNSDON SCOUT GROUP
Many of you will know by now that we have established a new Beaver
Colony and we are pleased to report that it is positively thriving. The
section has about 20 Beavers, girls and boys aged 6-8 years and is run
by Badger (Simon Roberts), Mole (Terase Hunt) and Otter (Fiona Norris).
So what has the Group been up to recently?
In April Hunsdon Scout Group attended St George's Day celebrations in
Ware with a service in church, followed by parade to Ware Priory where
promises were renewed in glorious sunshine. Every year, at the end of
the ceremony, the Peter Geer Trophy is awarded to the group with the
most points for attendance at specified events for their section.
Hunsdon Beavers, being a new section, did not have the opportunity of
attending all their events, but having turned out in such force for
their Easter Eggstravaganza, earned the Group the maximum of 10 points
for that particular event. Unfortunately Scouts missed out at The Bowls
Gala, and the Heavyweight Competition, but scored well in 5 other events
during the year, especially in the Cooking Competition, and Green Beret
where they scored most across all Patrols in the District. Cubs
also did brilliantly well, and having attended every event with good
numbers, scored the highest points among all Cubs packs in the Ware
District. This is a fantastic result for the group, and we are very
grateful to all the young people and their families for their support
If you know a young person who
would like to join in, or if you think you could help us run sessions or
events from time to time, please contact one of us:

Hunsdon Cubs have been busy working on their
Local Knowledge Badge this term. We are grateful to Mark Dunstan who
took the pack on a tour of the St Dunstans early in September. The
following week we visited Much Hadham Museum and Forge and came home
with some handmade iron gadgets - an alterfire poker and a camp lantern
hanger - which will be put to good use. Currently we are working on a
printing project with the support of the Henry Moore Foundation - and
you may have seen us in the Mercury on Friday 23rd October: "Hunsdon
Cubs get Moore from Textiles Day". Hunsdon Cubs Leader Team
