Au Revoir

Well, the time has come for me to sign off and pass you over to the leaders and young people. I have had great fun writing this blog and have had many favourable responses. In fact, when I made it known that I was stopping, many of you asked for it to continue and so the Group blog was born! From now on we will be blogging at our new site. Please click the link and visit us there.

Don't forget to follow us, sign up for email updates and add us to your favourites.

Please comment and let the leaders or GSL  know if there is anything particular you would like to see on our new blog and don't forget the group website is still up and running and is full of useful information

Travel Bugs

I have given it enough time for anyone to log any miles up until 1st January 2012 and so I now declare that the Cub TB came first, the Scout TB second and the Beaver one in third place. Hopefully they will continue to travel and you can get up date by looking at their pages on Geocaching.com or our new blog.

Happy New Year 2012

Well, my year of being the 3rd Ware centenary mascot has come to an end and I need to step back and hand over the baton. 

I will still be around but will be selecting activities to go to rather than visiting them all.

I will soon announce the winner of the travel bug race (just allowing the final logs since people do not always do it on the day they go out, but it will still count if it is dated yesterday). I will give it a week or so and then declare the winner.

I will also be signing off from this blog and moving to the new Group one. This will be a joint effort and so I will not be the only one posting.

There are still a few posts outstanding from this blog because I am waiting for people to send their reports across. Once they do I will post them but backdate them to when they actually took place.

I hope 2012 is as much fun as 2011 was.

Do you remember what these events were. It was very difficult to choose just 12 photographs from the whole of last year. We packed a lot into it. What was your favourite event and why?



More 100 challege booklets returned

Well done Joe. Rama got your booklet today and we can see you have worked very hard over the last few days to complete the final few of your 100 challenges. Even today you Learnt to tie a Friendship knot and on Christmas day you were seeing who could eat the most cream crackers!

Ethan and Jacob also returned their today. I see that both of you have enjoyed the food aspect of this challenge, have helped with the recycling and had attended lots of Scouting events.

100 challenge

Thanks Alex. Rama got your sheet today. You have been very busy this year. I enjoyed reading your article about Cubs and hope you enjoyed seeing it on the blog.

I can see you have done lots of good turns and now have many new life skills. I hope you continue to help with the cleaning and cooking.

How old was the person you asked to share their memories and what did they tell you?

Well done for completing this and returning it.

Merry Christmas

I have been to the Crib service (I saw many of our Group there!), have helped hang up the stockings, have left a snack for Father Christmas and the reindeer, lit the candles  and have sprinkled the magic reindeer food outside on the grass (thanks Walkerdine family).

Merry Christmas from Gus and all at 3rd Ware Scout Group.
