Space the Final Frontier

On Saturday the 13th of February our intrepid young astronauts will be given a short flight briefing before departing for a flight around the planets. They will then return to earth at the Wensley Fold Space Centre. Intrigued? Make sure you don’t miss our flight and join us for a “close encounter of the third kind”

Oliver Twist

22 Cubs and Beavers and 11 Adults went to see the Octagon Theatres production of Oliver Twist. The Octagons festive season productions never fail to disappoint. And a visit here is now a regular on our calendar. We can’t wait to find out what the Octagon plans for next year

Trip to the Octagon Theatre

Our visit to the Octagon to see "Oliver Twist" The Coach will leave school at 12:30pm prompt. Please ensure that you are at school no later than 12:15pm. You may leave your car at school if you are travelling with us.

In light of the tragic events that have recently taken place in Haiti. We have dontaed the £30 we raised prior to Christmas to the charity Shelterbox. Details of the work can be found at

Welcome Back

Welcome back and a happy and prosperous 2010 to you all. Last year despite having several setbacks it proved to be highly successful one. The group is slowly growing and we currently have around 30 children attending the group on a regular basis. This year we hope to have an equally successful and exciting twelve months.
Saturday the 23rd we are paying our now annual visit to the Octagon theatre. A letter giving details of the travel arrangements will be issued this Saturday the 16th. Our activity weekend for the Cubs is fast approaching and as a consequence I will be holding an information meeting for the parents of the children involved. Details of this will be issued shortly. As you are aware we managed to attract a fair amount of media coverage for the group during the latter half of the year. The more we can make the community aware of our group and dispel any misconceptions about the scouts the better. We are currently planning our programme for the next term and beyond and as soon as we have a firm idea of what we are doing we will let you know. In the meantime a list of dates for autumn term will be issued this coming Saturday.
