- 14 year old Boys and Girls Meets
Tuesday Nights 7.30pm to 9.00pm at the Scout HQ on Green Lane. Scouts are
encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their
programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is
the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or
her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity
Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find
out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own
abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their
creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own
values and personal attitudes Being
outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over to taking part
in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and
cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from
abseiling to yachting. The
international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many Scouts now
travel abroad during their time in the Section. In 2002/3 25,000 Scouts
from around the World attended the World Jamboree in Thailand. Even more
are expected to attend the World Jamboree in The United Kingdom in 2007. Scouting
is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the
adventure and opportunities of life. The Scout
section are currently recruiting new members. In 2006 the Scouts have just
competed in the District Swimming competition coming 7th. We are currently
training for the District 5 a side football competition. A weekend camp is
being arranged where we are to take part in climbing and abseiling,
archery, laser shooting and assault corses. Various weekend hikes are
planned as part of the Scout Hikers badge and as the weather warms up we
also will be canoeing and sailing We are
also undertaking the Information Technology and Public Relations badges.
In 2007
Scouting will have been in existence for 100 years - Scouts have been
invited to the World Jamboree where 40,000 Scouts from all over the world
will be camping at Hylands Park near Chelmsford. Scouts from 2nd Datchet
are invited to join the action To
