A few weeks ago I emailed everyone asking you for designs for a Unit t-shirt/polo shirt/sweatshirt.

To date I have had just 4 designs, 2 each from 2 people!

And one that I put on there myself…

If you want a design to be considered then can you do something about it!

 All the designs I’ve received so far are available to view below.

If you like one of these then let me know, or send me one yourself!

To answer a question I’ve been asked by several of you:

Yes we are going on the Crewboree this year!

But before you start getting really excited, there are a few things to keep in mind…

1)       It will cost at least £28 to attend

2)      It’s in the middle of the GCSE Exam period, so if you’re in Y11, there are a few things to think about:

a)      If you’ve got an exam the Monday after you’d better not attend

b)      If you’ve got an exam the Tuesday or Wednesday after you will have to think hard about going, and what is more important (little hint: it’s your exams!).

c)      On the other hand, if you haven’t got any exams immediately after it may provide a welcome break.

d)      There is no discount if you only want to come for part of the weekend – the organizers are really inflexible about this, I’ve already asked!

3)      If you feel you are a little bit old for all this now, there is the opportunity to join the crew for the weekend – but they will probably make you work hard. J

This years St. George’s Day Promise renewal will be during a campfire at Hesley Wood on Saturday 26^th April.  Once again we have decided to make a weekend camp out of this event. This year we will be helping at the Beavers and Cubs activities on Saturday, and in the evening either taking helping at, or taking part in, a night hike with incidents run for the Scouts.

Sooooo. Freezer Camp was ‘eventful’. Most of you had a great time, and the Leaders would like to thank you all for your cooperation during the unfortunate incident with Pat on Saturday afternoon. Here’s hoping he makes a rapid and full recovery.

Looks like we’re going to have to take ‘SingStar’ on every camp from now on! Stars on there included Pam, who obviously practises every night, and Ben, who just seems to know the lyrics of every song on there… Combat Barbies, stupid hats, tutus, tents flying around in the wind – they all add to the fun of a typical Freezer Camp!

There are some pictures I took on Saturday morning on the website; Johns got some as well, including some video footage I’ll try and get on here.
