On Sunday 15th April, Crawley District Scouts Youth Commissioners ran the first District Youshape event at Stanford Scout Campsite. Over the course of the day, we had just under 50 participants from across Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. It was a shame about the weather but everyone had fun regardless! During the day, the participants got to try a number of activities including Archery, Rifle Shooting, Backwoods Cooking, Fire Lighting, Team Games and a Youth Forum.
Come and join us for a fun morning on your favourite movies and help our Jamboree Contingent raise funds for their trip of a lifetime! Full details are available on the flyer below.
Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from 5th Crawley braved the chilly conditions today to take part in a Group hike, starting in Maidenbower and hiking to and from their headquarters in Three Bridges. Hot chocolate, teas and coffees and plenty of cake refuelled everyone at the half-way point, and all those who took part received a special badge, which was designed by section members to celebrate the Group’s anniversary in 2018 and can be worn on uniforms for the year. This was the first of three celebration events planned for 2018; in June the Group will be running a Group Camp at Stanford Scout Campsite in Pease Pottage and in September there will be a celebration family fun day at the Gatwick Aviation Museum.
