The Scouts, Cubs and Beavers were joined by Guides, Brownies, Rainbows and even a few Explorer Scouts for the annual parade and service of remembrance at the Camelsdale war memorial. There was a great turnout, in excess of 300 people, as this event has grown in the local community over recent years.

For the second year running, the parade was led by a piper, adding to the importance of the parade.  We were all very proud of the young people who were well turned out and showed great respect for the occasion.

Sunday 1st November saw the 2015 groundforce day at Camelsdale Scout HQ and camp site - and a great day it was too!

• The tangle of holly and beech from ongoing management of the grounds was neatly converted into an impressive bonfire for firework night on the 5th
  
• We improved the area around the flagpole (now removed, ready to be re-instated at the top of the camp site) ready for use possibly with a growing willow structure; cleared leaves from the hut gutter
  
• The war memorial was cleaned by cubs and scouts in preparation for remembrance Sunday.

All helped along with a splendid lunch of baked potato and beans to keep our energy levels up.
