3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group

3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group have now had a 3rd successful nomination and award from the Jack Petchey Foundation.

In the Young Person (aged 11-25) category Tom B has been given this award for his commitment, service and achievements at 3rd Hampton Hill. Tom continues to support the Group in the role of Young Leader and will shortly be helping to run the newly established 2nd Scout Troop which will begin meeting this Tuesday. Congratulations and well done Tom!

As part of the award 3HH have received a cheque for £300 from the Foundation. Part of the nomination process involves a suggestion from the nominee on how this money will be spent by the Group. Tom has asked that this money be used to help purchase some smaller lighweight/hiking type tents which can be used for weekend camps and for any overnight hikes. Thanks Tom.

Hello All and Welcome back!

Hope you all had fantastic holidays!

Both Cubs and Scouts had great Summer Camps - take at look at the posts and pictures to see what they got up to. I would also like to take this opportunity to say a very Big Thanks to everyone in the Leadership Team and the Group Exec at 3rd Hampton Hill for their continued hard work and support.

As the Sections prepare to return the Group faces the challenge of starting up a Second Scout Troop. Plans are being finalised and more information will be available later this month.

We are already looking ahead and planning future Events and a full programme of activities for all Sections.

We continue to need additional adult help and support; particularly at both Beaver Colonies (to assist and support Jane our Beaver Scout Leader) and also at Scouts to bolster the Scout Team which will shortly begin running a second Scout Troop on a Tuesday. The recruitment of adult help continues to be our top priority.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Kindest regards,

Rich M
Group Scout Leader
