Our Report - AGM 2008
Cub/Scout Section and Explorer Unit Report
A lot of the activity soon after the last AGM centred on the Centenary International Jamboree in August. It was the culmination of all the effort during the previous year raising the money need to send Ross Scout Group representatives. It was well worth it as nine Explorers went to the Jamboree - five younger and four older members.
On 17 December, the Explorers who attended the Jamboree gave a presentation on their experience to members of other Sections . While the audience appreciated the presentation and looking at the numerous personal “trophies” and souvenirs, the Explorers, by making the presentation, went through another experience which would contribute to their personal develop¬ment.
Older members of the Section have been working towards their Queen Scout Award. Some of the members carried out the planning associated with going to the International Scout Centre at Kandersteg in Switzerland during the half term break between terms 3 and 4.
During the Autumn term, Section members attended the “Bald Eagle” Camp at the Country Camp at Underhill. There was a visit to the Fire Service which involved the Citizen Fire Warden Badge. Later, the Police came to tell them about Drug Awareness and “Your rights”.
Scouts/Explorers went out observing meteors. Members attended the Remembrance Service. The normal evenings included badge-sewing, apple games, a sausage sizzle and making torches for the Father Christmas Parade.
The Spring term revealed that all Section members were alive and well. There are two Mohawk Cubs still, and they continue to fit in very well with the older members. At the other end of the age scale, there are five Explorers and their activities include leadership. The fifteen Scouts are the middle, doing as well as everyone else.
Members have been on a night hike and had a pancake evening. Nine members have attended the Rhydd Badge Camp. The Chairman’s Report mentioned insurance and Section members have been doing the Quartermaster Badge which involves taking stock of all we have in the Ross Scout Group. A very useful dual-purpose activity.
Tthe theme of citizenship continues. Locally, members studied the nations of the UK. County-wise, they attended many events. Nationally, a new link has been formed with a London Group who will be visiting us in July. A return visit is planned for the Autumn. One aspect of international considerations is that a Spanish Scout is now a member.
