We're looking for a new group chairperson

6/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Claire Morris, who has been our amazing group chair for the past six years and has guided us though lots of necessary change and helped bring 1st Camelsdale to the dizzy heights we’re at today is taking a rest. She’s not leaving us and intends to take an official appointment within our cub pack. Those with explorer scout children will also know she does a lot with the DofE scheme.

So, we’re looking for her replacement. Do you fancy a go, or do you know someone who might consider the role? A relative, friend or neighbour perhaps? Someone you chat to at the gym, church or work?

Here’s a bit of what the role involves; it’s not a uniformed role and it doesn’t involve turning up at a section meeting every week!

  • Chair the Group Scout Council & Group Executive Committee, and make sure we follow Scout Association rules…..in practise about 5 or 6 meetings a year
  • Work closely with and support the Group Scout Leader and encourage development of
  • Scouting within the group and as part of the local community
  • Help the group secretary & group treasurer with their roles.
  • Build strong ‘admin’ teams to help look after our headquarters and grounds and a team to raise funds and seek grants.
  • Generally keep an eye on all the admin & official side of stuff but not get too involved in section activities…. unless you want to of course.

We have really strong Beaver, Cub & Scout sections with great leader teams providing really exciting development programmes for our 6 to 14 year olds. We just need someone to take care of the official matters and make sure our facilities are looked after and our cash-flow is more than sufficient.

Could you do that for us, please? Or do you know someone who would?

Please do let me know

Beaver Party!

Posted by Livvy Stockdale, Explorer Scout, DofE Young Leader

The last session of Beavers was a great send off for the four Beavers that have now left to join the cubs; William, Finley, Toby and William. They all played fun party games such as musical chairs, pass the parcel – the exciting prize of a green and blue frisbee was at stake- and they also had a go at Guess The Object. There was a book hedgehog, a straw with a moustache attached, a harmonica and some more strange objects.  No everyday items were used meaning it was tricky and required some very good hints. The best game (by far) was the Beaver Mummy game. Each lodge had to wrap a chosen member in toilet roll of ‘the highest quality’ for three minutes before having to walk around in their costumes without it all falling to pieces – this was almost impossible! 


The four Beavers that have moved up are fantastic and the Beavers and leaders wish them all good luck for their future in scouting...

Camelsdale Beavers had a brilliant day out at Bazzaz, they took part in lots of different activities that were themed around different countries. They also managed to fit in some human football, crazy golf and quite a few toasted marshmallows on a lovely sunny day in Cranleigh.

Camelsdale Scout canoe taster session WORLD RECORD

6/23/2015

1 Comment

 
A historic event of global significance took place on the evening of Monday 22nd Jun 2015 in a sleepy corner of Godalming. At the end of a canoe taster session the brave and plentiful scouts of Camelsdale came together to create a raft that stretched from the boat house jetty across the full width of the Godalming and Guildford Wey Navigation to the bank on the other side. 

It was on this momentous occasion that a WORLD RECORD (in Godalming) was achieved by two scouts. Toby and Aidan were the first scouts EVER (seen by the Colonel) in the history of the canoe club to deck run from one side of the river to the other.

Firelighting with Beavers & Brownies

6/22/2015

Posted by Livvy Stockdale, Explorer Scout DofE Young Leader
Some great fire lighting was done by our youngest section this evening – the Beavers. Although dry fuel was hard to find as it has showered all throughout the weekend the Beavers did exceedingly well, with all of the groups using only the sticks, leaves and bits of  bark they found on the ground and a flint-strike. None the teams needed to use a match and the small teams of four or five beavers didn’t need assistance from their adult supervisors as they lit their mini fires. The fires they made were perfect for toasting marshmallows on and adding in some chocolate digestives they made everyone’s favourite camp food – smores!  The Scout leaders that joined us tonight may have found some future 1st Camelsdale Scouts!

Well done to Camelsdale Beavers who won the District Muir Trophy. Six of our Beavers had to complete a variety of tasks at Linchmere Common as part of a hike, there was lots of great competition from other beaver units but Camesldale just won! 

Well done Beavers!

Get involved with Haslemere explorer scouts

Explorer Scouting in Haslemere has grown, with more young people enjoying the fun, challenge and adventure.

We would like to continue and develop what we do and are looking for adults who can help us and enjoy some of the fun themselves. Volunteering with the Explorer Scouts is fun, easy and flexible. It is a great way to make a difference while having some fun.

We are always looking for leaders and assistant leaders – everybody knows that – but we would really welcome the support of men and women who could give a little time each term to act as Unit Treasurer, Occasional Helpers on Camps and Expeditions, Skills Instructors or fundraisers. It need not be every week, and we would welcome help at weekends as well as at the weekly meeting.

If you think you might like to join this exciting group please give the explorer scout leader, Jamie Short a ring or drop him an email. If we’ve not tempted you at the moment to find out more about what we do we would also really like to hear about anyone you know in the area who has a passion for adventure and challenge and a sense of fun. (And if we have tempted you then do tell your friends as well!)

You can contact Jamie Short, on [email protected] or phone 01428 654652
