Beavers Visit Brownsea Island - 10th Maple Colony

At 8 am on 19th September beavers  from across the district met at Romsey Bus station to wait for the coaches to arrive.

We were soon all seated and set off towards Poole where we joined the ferry for the short trip across the harbour to Brownsea Island.   It was a fabulous day and we were lucky to see plenty of the red squirrels that inhabit the island.

We walked along the paths taking in the views across to the Purbeck Hills, watched kayakers and sailors on the water, hugged a tree and stopped for a snack (beavers seem to be always hungry).

We visited the stone placed to mark the first experimental scout camp and then went along the forest track where we had a long jump challenge - Eagle wanted the beavers to see who could jump the farthest before lunch. We have certainly got some athletes amongst us.

 

After meeting up with the rest of the district beavers for lunch we played some games of Frisbee and parachute before heading off to the beach where beavers soon had shoes and socks off for a paddle 

 

Although I got lots of teasing at the start of the day for having bought a shopping trolley I was very glad not to have to carry everything around all day and even Eagle took a turn at pulling it up the hill for me! Thank you.

We got back to the pier just in time for our ferry and arrived back safe and well in Romsey where parents were waiting to meet us. It was a great day out and one that I hope the beavers will remember.

My thanks to the parents that came to help and I hope you enjoyed the day as well.

Cub Box Cart Championship - 3rd Romsey

 3rd Romsey Cubs entered the Supreme Box Cart Championship which is held annual at Goodwood.  The sun shone, the Cubs had fun and a great day was held by all.

 

There were lots of different cub packs taking part and they all had their own design for the kart. In the morning we had our kart inspected to make sure it complied with all the safety rules. We were given tape measure to check the width of the kart, how long the wheel base was and had to explain what it was made out of. There were lots of stewards organising the races and making sure we were safe in the surrounding paddocks of the race course. Each team was made up of three cubs: one to steer and two to push. There were sixteen heats so each cub had a go at either steering or pushing.

We asked the cubs what they thought of the event and they replied:

“Fabulous”

“Great”

“I will definitely recommend this to my friends”

“Exciting”

Next year we will design a faster kart and get lots of practice before the day!  Watch this space!

Scarecrows

North Baddesley Cub Scouts took part in the village's Scarecrow Festival.  Here are pictures of a couple of them.

And this is what happened to them when they returned to the Scout headquarters!

Romsey Show

As usual there was a good Scouting presence at the show including the ever popular Assault Course

Some craft activities including a robe making machine

And of course Bertie Beaver

Many visitors inquiring about Scouting and everyone had a great time!

Summer Camp 2015 - Ashanti Troop 3rd Romsey (PART 2)

Final Thoughts – Scouts Own – for the Scouts, by the Scouts

 

SUMMER CAMP 2015

 

Summer camp was really nice

Useless Scouts annoyed Shona

My summer I had to sacrifice

My friends are on holiday so I would be too

Everybody’s had such fun

Richards’s tomato story made us laugh!

 

Caring Leaders saved us from the fun

Always following footpaths

More food for the greedy and the growing

Patrol meal went down well

 

2 times Sarah shouted

0 trips to A&E!

1 finger dripping with blood

5 irritating but caring Leaders

 

by Toby & James

 

 

We are thankful for Scouting.

We appreciate the hard work from Leaders.

We are grateful for the food and activities.

Sorry for annoying the Leaders.

Thank you for the lovely countryside and the beautiful views.

Thanks for the Leaders putting on Scout Camps every year.

Kieran had to go home on Thursday night; he entertained our Patrol all week by singing and making up songs.  Our Scouts own is to remind us of him.  He made up this song himself – but we sang it at Scouts own for him!

 

I’m all about the bass, about the bass, about the bass – no salmon

I’m all about the bass, about the bass, about the bass – no salmon

I’m all about the bass, about the bass, about the bass – no salmon

I’m all about the bass, bass, bass.

I think it’s pretty clear, I am a fisherman.

I listen to music with my stupid i-pod.

This song has no musicality

It’s full of abnormality

‘cos I’m all about the bass!

 

Because you know I play the double bass, double bass not the violin.

I play the double bass, double bass not the cello.

I play the double bass, double bass not the harp.

I play thee double bass, double bass, bass, bass, bass.

Yeah it’s pretty clear I’m a string player.

I play in an orchestra with other instruments.

Cause you know because you know I play the double bass, double bass, bass, bass, bass.

 

He knows how to play!
