Updated 25 January 2012
 
The County Activity Weekend 2012 will be held on Saturday May 12 & Sunday May 13 at the Shrewsbury Showground and is now open for booking.  Camping is available for two nights - Friday 11 May and Saturday 12 May.  The 2012 event will be bigger and brighter than the one held in May 2011 with more activities and a packed Saturday evening programme for campers.
 
The theme for the weekend is the centenary of Captain Scott's expedition to the Antarctic.
 
                         Camping costs £20 per head for the weekend including all activities, and Saturday night entertainment plus a free burger. The fancy dress
                         competition on Saturday evening is themed The Antarctic, with prizes for the best three outfits.
 
                         Day rates are £6 per head including all activities.
 
                         Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network, SAS, Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Senior Section plus their families are all welcome.
 
                         We received many helpful comments and suggestions from the survey carried out after the May 2011 Activity Weekend
                         and we  have tried to design the 2012 event to take account of those comments and suggestions. 
 
                         All GSLs, ESLs, SLs, CSLs and BSLs should have received a hard copy set of event details and an application form.
                         If you have not received your copy, please email andy.geddes@btinternet.com who will send you a pack.

Bridgnorth Beaver Scouts - On Tour in Burwurton
 
    Boreatton Scouts France Trip

Scouts from Shropshire Borders District entered a team that came 2nd in the UK National finals of the Scalextric4schools DT competition! (Hurrah!).

They each won £30 worth of scalextric cars and as a team won a Lewis Hamilton track kit worth £120, so a serious prize, but more importantly won lots of Glory! (actually, they prefer their prize cars).

Shropshire Star said they'd come and see us this week so we may be in the paper w/e 1st July 2011...

A preliminary report on their blog can be read at  http://boreattonscouts.blogspot.com/2011/06/scalextric-4-boreatton-scouts.html

 It was great to have a packed to capacity Shewsbury Abbey where both young people's and adults efforts over the last 12 months were recognised. Click here for a copy of the Annual Report 2011 
 

At a ceremony in Shrewsbury Abbey recently, four Cub Scouts from the 8th Bridgnorth Scout Group were awarded the Chief Scout's Silver award by the Scouts' County Commissioner, Danny Potter. This award is for those who complete a minimum of 6 Challenge  Badges.  Most completed more Challenges than that!  They range from Promise, Community, Fitness Challenges to Global and Creative to Outdoor Challenges.

 

The ceremony was part of the County Scouts AGM and was attended by Senior members of the Scouting movement in Shropshire as well as civic and other dignitaries from throughout the County.
