NEWS 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:

CUBS NEWS
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".
