3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group

Our Beaver Scouts need YOU!

We have a fantastic opportunity for some Adults to join in the fun and assist us with the continued running of our two Beaver Scout Colonies on a Friday.

In order to keep running such a fantastic programme we do need some additional help and support. We are actively seeking two Assistant Beaver Scout Leaders to provide valuable support to our Beaver Scout Leader.

What would you be doing?

• Helping at the Beaver Colony meetings each week (Fridays); setting up activities, running games and helping the Beavers to have fun (living up to their motto of ‘Fun and Friends’).
• Helping to plan each terms programme
• Occasionally taking responsibility for an activity: for example buying the ingredients for a cooking evening.

We need your help and support and it is vital that we recruit two Assistant Beaver Scout Leaders ready to help run the Beaver Colonies in January 2009.

if you are interested, please take a look at the attached letter.

Thank You.

Group Scout Leader

We are actively seeking a new booking secretary to manage hall bookings at 3rd Hampton Hill. This is a vital role for the group and we need to fill this post before the end of the year.

The outgoing booking secretary has drafted a role description and is standing by to help with a handover. Please view the attached role description and speak with any section leader or send an enquiry if you might be interested.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Group Scout Leader

Are you looking for something new which is challenging and rewarding? Adults in Scouting are from all walks of life. Yet the one thing they share is the enjoyment of helping young people reach their potential. We are actively seeking adult help and support. . .

You may feel that you have no skills to offer Scouting - but everyone has something to give. Doing things such as making squash and organising games means the Leader has more time to spend with the young people. Do you have any hobbies and interests that you could share?

Scouting would not exist without the skills and enthusiasum of thousands of adult helpers. Whether you can spare 2 hours per week or a day, a month, we need additional leaders, instructors, adminstrators and many other supporters who share our aim of making life better for young people.

Volunteering in Scouting is fun and rewarding. You will have the chance to learn new skills, rediscover adventure, make new friends, spend more time with your child if they are a Scout and give something back to your community. Our adult volunteers make Scouting happen. Could you be one of them? As a Group we have a number of opportunities to join in the fun. Come and join the adventure.

You don’t necessarily need any prior experience or knowledge. We can offer training, induction and ongoing support and you can get a real sense of achievement, reward and enjoy the fun.

We would love to hear from you . . . just get in touch via the enquiry form.

Hi Everyone. What is it with this term…stuff never seems to stop happening!! Please see attached details of Cubs district swimming gala from Sara H:

Last year’s cub swimming gala was fantastic, with 3HH putting in a fine team performance. Looking for keen swimmers of all ages and abilities to take part.

There are races for two ages groups, with width and length distance. We need a lot of cubs to be able to take part in every race so please join in. (We had 7 cubs last year which meant we missed a race, and some cubs had to make super human efforts in several races. 10 would be better, and more fantastic). There are heats then finals which makes a minimum of 13 races - last year it was 19 !

We’re also seeking parents to help on the evening - Fiona (poolside champion in charge last year) has kindly agreed to run the evening, but she will need help. Salim (our secret parental swimming expert) has also offered coaching if anyone would like this, and can find a venue.

Attached details for your information. I am happy to co-ordinate, with Fiona in charge on the night. Do please let us know as early as possible so I can reply on Friday 10th with our entry. Details of preferred distance and stroke appreciated.

Many thanks Sara
