Downpour Fails To Dampen Centenary Camp

Over 200 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Leaders / Helpers and parents joined in our centenary campfire in the Friary grounds as the bank holiday weather did its best to dampen our enthusiasm. Perhaps divine intervention or the vocal skills of ASL Andrew Barrett managed to fend off the rain clouds for just enough time, as we lit our beacon at 8.30pm along with 200,000 other Scouts across the world.

We'll have some photos online soon and can only hope the next centenary event on August 1st brings us a little sunshine!

So time to put on your walking boots and raise some cash with the 2 rivers hike on June 16th 2007. A sponsorship form can be downloaded from the members section or collected from the leaders.
