Hope you all had a fab summer! The Sections have lots to look forward to on their return . . . I know that the Leadership teams have been planning lots of entertaining and challenging actvities and events for everyone to enjoy during the new term.
A Big Thanks in advance to the Leadership Team and Group Executive for all the work they will put into the Group for this New Term.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Having just returned from a Fantastic Scout Camp in the Peak District I am posting this note a little later than usual.
I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Summer Break. Safe travels and happy holidays to all.
We had a good turnout at our Annual Celebration Event and I would like to say a very big thanks to the Executive, Leadership Team and all those that helped make this a successful and enjoyable event.
Also a very big thanks to all the adults at 3HH for a fantastic term and for providing Nights Away (Camps & Sleepovers) this Summer. I know that the Beavers had a great time at their sleepover and the Scouts had an exciting and memorable camp. I am certain that the Cubs will also enjoy their Camp which starts later this week.
Enjoy the summer and we will see you all again in September.
Kindest regards and best wishes.

3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group
A big thanks to all for the donations. Despite starting our collecting efforts quite late in the scheme, we still amassed 592 vouchers which we’ve banked ready for 2011’s scheme.
What a fantastic day on Saturday 15th May, the occasion of the second ever 3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group Airgun Competition. Over 50 adults and juniors shot target rifle and pistol, competed in the knockout competition and got down in the dirt with field target.
So what is the title about? Well, Jacob won the overall 12 and under section, Sam won the 13-16 age range and dad Rob shared overall 1st place in the adult competition along with winning the KO, not forgetting mum Mandy coming in 8th!
U13 – Rifle Lilly P, Pistol and Overall Jacob
U17 – Rifle Sam, Pistol Alex S, overall Sam
Adult – Rifle tie between Jon H and Rob with Rob taking gold with reference to the third card, Pistol Wend, overall tie between Wend and Rob
(and yes we are going to sort out those darn boxes for next time)
Junior – winner Andrew O, runner up Will W, bronze to Jacob H and Rhiannon
Senior – Winner Rob H, runner up Jon H, bronze to John O and Wend W.
Full results are in the attached spreadsheet.
Yep, it’s official, we’re signed up to the Tesco’s voucher scheme as well as the Sainsbury’s one now. Until we get our Tesco collecting box, please pop all those lovely vouchers into the Sainsbury’s box and I’ll look forward to all that lovely sorting. We’ve had some good stuff out of the Sainsbury’s scheme in the last few years so keep ‘em coming and help us to both save money and improve and enhance the games and equipment we have for members.
P.S. in case you haven’t noticed, there’s no need to post your vouchers in the correct slot as they all drop into the same place! It would be nice if you sorted them into ones and fives with a rubber band though!
Don’t forget that it is our Annual St. Georges Day Event this coming Sunday 25th April 2010.
The Start point this year is Orleans School at 1030. Finish point is Richmond Green at about 1215.
See you there!

Hello All!
Spring and Early Summer Update: As I write this it is another fab day! 
Fingers crossed for many more. The Cubs and Scouts both enjoyed glorious weather and had great camps. A big thanks to the leadership teams and group supporters for providing 2 more brilliant camps, and to the Cubs and Scouts themselves for getting stuck in and giving their all.
A belated Easter wish to everyone, hope you all found some time for some peace and quiet, and have enjoyed the Easter Break. Our thoughts are with anyone that might still be stranded somewhere and we hope you get home safe soon.
We collected our new trailer whilst we were at Scout Camp. This is a very welcome addition to our Group and I know it will be greatly used. A big thanks to Sheila and to Simon for all their hard work in getting us this trailer.
I know that all the Sections have a great Summer programme lined up along with more camping and lots of outdoor stuff to enjoy. There is still time to enter our Air Rifle Event in May. We will shortly be planning our annual celebration event which will take place before the summer break. There are still opportunities for more adults to join us in a number of roles within the Group. Please speak with any Section leader for more details.
Come and join the adventure at 3rd Hampton Hill and be part of the challenge and fun of scouting.
I look forward to seeing you and speaking with you all soon.
Kindest regards,
Rich
Group Scout Leader
Dear all, Please see attached details of our airgun competition. This will be held on 15th May 2010, following our incredibly successful previous event in 2008. Please note that this is open to all leaders, Scouts, 10 year old cubs and any adult family members associated with 3rd Hampton Hill.
Overview detail and entry form can be found here.
The declaration form for 18 year olds and over can be found here and must accompany any entry forms for that age group.
The parent consent form for under 18 year olds can be found here and must accompany any entry forms for that age group.
If this is your first time shooting, don’t worry there will be plenty of adult instructors around to help you through things. Good luck! This promises to be a sensational event, lots of fun and accessible to all. Go on, why not have a go?
Happy New Year to All! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying 2010 so far.
All the Sections have a fantastic programme for the term ahead. I am certain that 2010 will be another fun-filled and action-packed year of all things ’scouting’ at 3HH.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.

As another year comes to an end we can all look back on yet another fantastic year at 3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group! All the Sections have enjoyed a wonderful programme and have had chances to try new things.
We can also look forward to another exciting and interesting year in 2010. Plans are in place for another superb programme of Section and Group Events. We will also be raising the profile of our International Trip in 2011 to Kandersteg.
I would like to take this opportunity of saying a massive Thanks to all the Adults and Young Leaders at 3rd Hampton Hill for all that that do to make 3HH such a success!
I wish everyone a very happy, relaxed and enoyable Christmas. Wishing you all a prosperous, healthy and happy 2010. I look forward to seeing you all in January.
Kindest regards and very best wishes

Some of you may remember former members of our group: the Boytons, Jon (Swedish), Chris and Matt along with parents Karin and Peter who were both very supportive of the group. Anyone who knows Jon will be aware that he was pretty proficient in a kayak and has since leaving the group gone from strength to strength in the sport, and is now a hopeful for the 2012 Olympics.
Whether you knew Jon or not, it would be really wonderful if you could click on the link below, vote for Jon and increase his chances of winning some valuable sponsorship and thereby help with giving one of our former members the fantastic chance to represent his country.
Gulp, it’s approaching *that* time of year again. I wondered if I could ask for some help on behalf of the 3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group?
Do you ever shop on-line with Amazon – perhaps you’ve even started your Xmas shop already? If so, you could really help us by earning money for our Scout group by accessing the Amazon.co.uk website via the special link in the sidebar menu of our group website.
With every item that you buy via us, Amazon.co.uk will contribute about 5% of the purchase cost to our Scout group funds. It’s quick and easy, and the cost to you is the same as if you had visited Amazon.co.uk directly. We’ve made a few hundred pounds from this over the last few years, and are keen to repeat this success.
No catches – it’s essentially free money for the Scouts!
Sounds great, so how do I do it?… (more…)
Hello All and Welcome Back!
Hope you all had a fab summer. Section meetings start again soon and I know that all the Sections have an interesting and exciting Autumn Term of Actvities and Events planned. A big thanks already to all the Section Leadership Teams for preparing and organising the forthcoming term of Section Meetings and Actvities – I know it will be another great Term at 3HH.
As a reminder to all Group Members we still have a number of opportunities to help with the Group. Please speak with any Section Leader or member of the Group Executive Commitee for more details on how you can help and support the Group.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Regards,

Just a quick note to all members of 3HH to wish you all a fab Summer.
As the Section meetings draw to a close for the summer break and we prepare for scout summer camp I am already reflecting and looking back on a great year for the Group! We have all done and achieved so much already this year. Lots of Nights Away, lots of badges and much fun had by all. Do take a look at all the previous posts and pictures to see what a great time we have had so far in 2009.
I want to say a very Big Thanks to all the Leadership Teams and the Group Executive for all their hard work and to all the Young People for making 3HH such a fun place to be.
Wishing you all a very happy and enjoyable summer. May the sun shine down on you all wherever you may be and whatever you are doing this summer.
Kindest regards,
Rich M
