3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group

Wow! Another year is nearing its end. It has been a busy and successful year for 3rd Hampton Hill. The highlight for many being the fantastic trip to Kandersteg in the Summer. Once again all the Sections have enjoyed a wonderful and engaging programme of meetings, events and actvities.

I would like to say a very BIG THANKS to the Leadership Teams and Group Executive at 3HH for all their hard work this year.

2012 is shaping up to be another busy year. We are moving forward with plans for our Scout HQ Extension, Quiz Night in March, Section Camps are being planned, we have our Family Camp in May at Walton Firs, and also Twickeree the tri-annual District Camp in Marble Hill Park, Twickenham in June. It is also the Queens Jubilee and the Olympics which I am sure will feature in Section Programmes as well. We have opportunities for adult involvement in Leadership and suporting roles. We are specifically looking to recruit more Help with Cubs and Beavers.

I wish you all a very happy, relaxed and enjoyable Christmas. Best wishes for a wonderful 2012!

I look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!

Kindest regards and best wishes

Come and join in . . .
We currently have opportunities for adults to get involved and join in at Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. We are actively seeking extra pairs of hands to support all our Sections so we can continue to provide a fantastic programme of actvities. This could be just once a month as an occiasional helper, joining us on activities such as camps, or perhaps more regular help as a Sectional Assistant.

Your time, Your Choice
Volunteering for Scouting gives you the chance to try different actvities, visit new places and learn and share new skills. You can decide how much or how little time you wish to give and how you spend that time. Prior experience or a connection with Scouting is not necessary.

You can make a difference
You can make a positive difference to the lives of Young People. From achery to canoeing, camping to drama, young people get the opportunity to try new things, explore their talents, develop their values and beliefs and make the most out of life.

Why Volunteer?
You will;
Have fun and feel rewarded
Learn new skills
Make new friends
Have chance to gain externally recognised qualifications
Make a difference and give something back to your community

Please come and chat to any of the Leadership Teams, send email to 3rdhamptonhill@richmond-scouts.org.uk or send us an Enquiry to find out more. We look forward to hearing from you.

Both Sainsburys and Tescos voucher schemes are closing soon, with Sainsbury’s stopping giving out vouchers as of 31st May and Tesco having stopped this weekend.

Please ensure that all vouchers are returned to the collecting boxes at the HQ as soon as possible so we can place our orders in a timely fashion. Every year we have run this exceptionally valuable free scheme a large number of vouchers go unused as they appear after we have completed our one-time-only order and once the order is placed, we cannot even bank any excess vouchers for the following year.

Many thanks all.
