3rd Sudbury Scout Group

3rd Sudbury Scout Group held a fund-raising Family Race Night on Saturday 24th March 2012. The evening was a great success with just over 100 people in attendance. Local businesses sponsored each of the main races and parents donated some of the food for the mid-race card supper. The Scout Group would like to thank everyone who supported the event and helped to raise over £1200 which is a fantastic achievement.

The Scout Association provides adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for 400,000 young people aged 6-25. Internationally, we have over 28 million young people enjoying the benefits of Scouting across 218 countries.

Personal development means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,' when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

Within the 3rd Sudbury Group we have a Beaver colony, 2 Cub packs, Scout and Sea Scout Troops and support the local Explorer and Network sections. If you are Interested in joining 3rd Sudbury Scouting? Then please click on the link below.

100 years ago 3rd Sudbury Scout Group was formed and we are now planning lots of events to celebrate our Centenary.

We held a competition back in December where the Scouts were invited to enter a design for a badge to commemorate our Centenary. The winner was Hattie Holmes aged 9 who is a member of C Pack Cubs. The badge will now be produced and presented to every member of the Scout Group to wear on their uniforms - well done Hattie.

As part of the celebrations a challenge has been set by Assistant Group Scout Leader Steve Challis. He has asked the group to complete 100 100 challenges during the Centenary year. The list includes lots of interesting and fun activities such as to canoe/kayak 100m, to make 100 beaver biscuits, to ride the kingfisher flume 100 times and to light 100 camp fires to name just a few. The complete list is available here 100 challenges.

The Centenary celebrations will reach a climax on June 9th when we are holding a Family Fun Day at Boxford Spinney where lots of scouting activities will be available for the whole family - further details can be found here.

Fundraising is vital for the group and Tesco have kindly agreed to let us hold collections outside their store on Wednesday 22/02/12 and Thursday 23/02/12 - buckets can only be held by adults so as you can imagine we need as many volunteers as we can get. If you can spare an hour or two on either day, please contact Sue Lowe on 0784 5991954, any help would be greatly appreciated.

FRIENDS are also holding a Family Racenight on Saturday 24th March. More details can be found on this page including a downloadable letter. For any further information contact Sue Lowe on 0784 599194.
