Planting Seeds at Lockerley Beavers

The Beaver Scouts have a small allotment beside their headquarters.    So this evening they planted lots of vegetable seeds

They  also made their own pots out of newspaper, filled them with earth and put flower seeds in. 

By the end of the evening everyone had really dirty hands but it was so much fun and great to be out of doors.

Hampshire CSA Gold Presentation

 

 Congratulations to Joe, Jack, Kathleen, Lara, James & Polly of 3rd Romsey Scouts who attended the Hampshire Chief Scout's Gold Award presentation  at Thornden School. 

 

 

 

It is a huge achievement and they have all worked really hard to gain this award.  They have camped, cooked, hiked, tried new things, helped others and grown so much since they started at the Troop!  It was a very proud moment for family, friends (and the Scout Leader) to watch them being presented with their certificates by Jagz Bharth, Deputy UK Youth Commissioner.  And he summed it up - we are very proud of them, and they should be proud of themselves - however, it is the first step in what is hopefully a very long and fun filled journey!

St. George's Day Service - Romsey Abbey

It was great and everyone joined in for a St. George's 'Rap' in Romsey Abbey - led and performed by West Wellow Scout Group

And the District Commissioners (Scouts and Guides)  tested their strength!

Well done everyone!

3rd Romsey - visit by police and their dogs

The other night 4 policemen and women came to Scouts with 3 police dogs.  They assured us that the dogs would not bite!  Then we learnt all about the police equipment and duties – and Shona had to try on the police riot gear!

Abbie was the first dog to see us and she was only 8 months old and in training!  She was very interested in all the Scouts but did not seem at all scared of everyone.

Merlin was the second dog, he has been in service for a while.  He searches for people and things.  We hid keys, a wallet and bolt croppers and he found them all very quickly!  It was great.  He is also trained to stop people running away from the police.  He even chased one of the police men who was “running away”!

Chunky was the last dog we met, he could sniff out drugs.  The police brought drugs that we hid round the hall and Chunky found them all very quickly.

The whole experience was amazing!
