G'Day
Everyone
Welcome to your newsletter so grab
a cuppa and take a seat and read on.
‘5 a side’
Our stay here has now been just over
12 months, I am so glad that my husband and I have had this chance
to live in another country. Even though England is like home in some
aspects, many it is not. Scouting is no different; one of these
experiences has been the ‘5 a side – cub/scout competition’ a couple
of weeks ago. Now as most of you who know me
realise I am not one for Soccer (Football as you English call
it), but I must admit, I really had a good time watching this game
in action. Could it have been the fast pace, the many goals scored
or not, the closeness of the final teams competing, or just watching
cubs and scouts alike having so much fun at a game that they
obviously enjoy, especially the smaller ones of the groups.
Congratulations to the winning teams, and to the ones who didn’t,
and I can safely say, first hand experience that they all had fun as
I did. Thanks to Dave and Alan, for umpiring and Dave for keeping score. Arlene White (Polly) ADC General

From the Dave
Next to the District competition, the Beaver/Cub board games
competition is my favourite.
On Saturday the 10th of February cubs and beavers
met at William Austin School to take part in an afternoon of
enjoyment, some with apprehension, to battle it out to find
champions in draughts and scrabble, so it was with great pleasure I
went to Blenheim beavers and to Manor beavers to present the
winners' shields.
The winners were:
From Blenheim - Qasim for the Draughts
and from Manor -Chloe for Scrabble
One of the things they both had in common when they were
presented with their shields was a big wide grin and the pride they
had in their Beaver Colony. For me this is what makes scouting
worthwhile, to see the young beavers enjoying themselves and growing
in confidence.
