We won the Scout Dodgeball - the 1st came FIRST!

The dodgeball was a great success, especially as we won! Our team only lost two games (one of them to the explorers) and won four; the final was a close run thing but our boys did really well. It's just a shame there isn't a trophy for the dodgeball, we'll have to convince the district to get one made up!

Are you coming to the dodgeball on Tuesday night?

The games begin at 19.00, please come in uniform and make sure you bring your £2!

Are you ready for Easter Camp?

Easter Camp is coming! We're leaving on Good Friday, 2nd April, and returning Easter Monday. Make sure you bring all the right kit, along with your signed consent form! It's probably going to be cold, so make sure you've got warm clothes and lots of them.

District Dodgeball is this Tuesday 30th March at 19.00

Make sure you're at the HQ at 19.00 on Tuesday as it's the District Dodgeball Competition. Please bring £2 and come in uniform.

What do you want to see at District Camp?

Next Tuesday (23rd March) is the first of the district scout camp planning meetings. From the 30th April to the 3rd of May we will be camping at Broomley Grange, Stocksfield. The site has been updated from last year and we will be planning the activities for the District Camp. As well as those we can provide from the District's leaders Broomley Grange have their own on offer.

Good showing in the Scout Quiz

While we didn't win the Scout Quiz on Friday we did have an excellent turn out and fielded three good sized teams. Well done to everyone who came along and did their best!

1st Whickham Scouts reach final in district football compeition

Our Scouts made it to the final in the District Five-a-side competition on the 6th of March, but as there were six of them and only five to a team, one was actually on the winning side as he was filling in on a team of four! So, in a way, we won and lost at the same time.
