On Friday 22/02/08, the Group had a Founder’s Day party.

Founder’s Day is where Scouts of all ages celebrate Baden-Powell’s birthday. He would have been 151 this year!

The evening started with the presentation of Chief Scout’s Silver awards to two of the Cubs. They have worked very hard to achieve these, so well done!

Then it was silly games time. These included eating a bar of chocolate with a knife and fork and wrapping people up in loo roll to see who could make the best ‘mummy’!

The parents then joined us for the talent show. It started off with the Beavers singing ‘Singing in the Rain’ campfire style. Then some slightly older ‘Beavers’ led everyone in a chant. We think they got a bit confused as Paul wore a Guide jumper,  Rachael a Burslem neckerchief and Don a Bradwell neckerchief! One of the Beavers then showed he could out stare the audience!

Five parents were then volunteered to see how many marshmallows they could fit in their mouths and still say "Chubby Bunnies"! Lyndon won by a long stretch!

The Cubs impressed us with some magic, joke telling, rolling displays and cello playing. The Scouts chickened out!

It was then time for a buffet and finally the disco and karaoke!

A great evening was had by all!

Members of the Group were bag packing yesterday at Asda. They managed to raise over £500!

Well done to all who went.
