We had a lot of Squirrels and Beavers on our joining list so we held a taster session to gauge interest in starting a second Squirrel Drey and restarting our Forest Beaver Colony on a Monday at Primrose Hill School.

Sixer Seconder Camp

The Cub Sixers and Seconders camped overnight in Aylburton Memorial Hall.

Remembrance 2024

We had a good turnout for our Remembrance Parade this year, with some of our new Squirrels and Beavers taking part too. The weather was kind, mild and dry.

District Cub Camp 2024

A few of the Cub Packs in the Forest went to Apple Orchard for an Autumn District Cub Camp. It was a bit cold, but the Cubs seemed to have a good time.

Last Survival Friday of 2024

We took the opportunity to get a last Survival Friday in for 2024 on the last Friday in August. It was a pleasant evening of stories and brews. Most of the scouts stayed up all night, some tried tea for the first time. Some spotted a Starlink satellite train.

Squirrels in the Deerpark

Our new Squirrels Drey have been meeting at primrose Hill School, to help the team settle into the routine. For the last meeting this summer we went down to the Deerpark for shelter-building and toasted marshmallows. They had a great time.

Sausage Sizzle

We said goodbye to the summer term in the deerpark with another sausage sizzle for the whole Group including their families.

Evolution 2024

Our Cubs had a great time at Evolution over at Circencester Park. Another cracking weekend camp organised by the Gloucestershire S&E Team.

Strategy 2024

A great weekend for Strategy for our scouts. They returned tired, but happy after a weekend of incident hike around Cirencester Park on Saturday and adventure activities on Sunday.
