NPL Water Rockets Competition
June 25th, 2009 posted by Paul
Well done to Chris, Kieran, Mimi and Will from Claws for their excellent performance at this year’s NPL Water Rocket Competition.
The team’s excellent design and build work resulted in a rocket that flew straight and true and got the Scout firing the launcher only a little wet on take off, well alright soaked! We hit the first zone with our first and third flights and a bullseye with the second one giving flight times of 17, 33 and 18 seconds. Full results and pictures will appear on the NPL website in due course.
The launcher after some years sterling service is now pretty much defunct and a hard time was had getting it through scrutineering this time. Ideally we’d like to take this to summer camp as an activity, so is there a parent out there who could build us a more robust replacement? Full instructions are available from a link on the above website so little or no design work would be needed and if it can’t be built for camp, having one (preferably two so both troops can compete) ready for next years event would be fantastic. Please talk to any of the leaders.

Talon Scouts Go Rowing
June 15th, 2009 posted by Simon
Getting out onto the water is fast becoming a real favourite for 3HH’s scouts.
We were delighted to once again join our good friends at the 14th Richmond Boat House for a wonderful evening’s rowing between Richmond and Twickenham. To see more of what we got up to please click here to check out the photos.
Unlike our last adventure out, the sun was shining and the tide reasonably gentle. And the scene was perfectly set for a few impromptu races!
Massive thanks again to Vic, Anna, Roy and Trevor for hosting our visit. We’re already looking forward to our next trip out…

Scouts’ Summer Term Final Evening – Great Parent Scout Cookout
May 28th, 2009 posted by Paul
Hi all, as ever our last night of Scouts in July will be the Great Parent Scout Cookout.
It’s one of my favourite Scout evenings and has nothing at all to do with the fact that I’m on the judging panel! This activity takes a while to plan and arrange your teams so here’s the information nice and early to allow you to do just that!
Any questions just ask.

Note to self, must remember, no lunch or dinner that day!

National Scout Air Rifle Competition Invitation
May 26th, 2009 posted by Paul
Hi all, please see attached the primary paperwork for NSARC 2009.
This has formerly been an open competition to anyone who has passed the YPS course but due to it’s poularity entries are now restricted to 9 Scouts, 6 Explorers and a limited number of non Range Officer adult entrants, all of whom now MUST be members of the association in one form or another to be able to shoot (there are no restrictions on non-shooting adults). There are no restriction on RO numbers fortunately.
If we get more than 15 Scouts and Explorers wanting to shoot, we’ll have to carry out a selection event. Dates on this are tight to ensure our entry so I’d be happy to receive your (paper) replies ASAP.
Please note this is open to all Explorers listed above, older Scouts who may be Explorers come October and all adults with shooting knowledge and the pre-requisite membership as well of course as Scouts who’ve passed YPS.
Big Green Shelterbox Scavenger Hunt
May 25th, 2009 posted by Simon
Well it was a hotter longer route with a far bigger boxes to carry than we had expected – but what an adventure!
The Scouts were simply terrific under some challenging demands. But we maxed out our mission to raise awareness for Shelterbox and the Scout Association. Our monster big green boxes were dragged all over Westminster, Covent Garden, Fleet Street, Victoria Station, Horseguards Parade … with photos taken wherever we stopped.
Well done to everyone who took part – and congratulations on earning your Global Challenge badge!
A massive thanks to John, Darrell, Suzanne and Kirstie for coming along and making the day possible.

Scouts Summer Camp – Strict deadline
May 25th, 2009 posted by Paul
We now have 17 down for the Scout summer camp but the first closing date is looming as we have to get our numbers and activity forms in to the organisers.
What does this mean? Well quite clearly, I must have your paper slips and deposits in ASAP if you want to come as although there may be latitude to add numbers afterwards, equally the site may not let us if they’re full, so delay at your peril!
Please find attached therefore three forms: one is the summer camp invite letter, the second is the list of activities on offer and the third is the form you MUST return to me ASAP indicating what activities your Scout can enjoy; they’re quite strict, no form, no do! You MUST now send it to me at my home address ASAP so I can collate and send these off on my return from holiday.
Finally, although the camp cost is shown as £180, I’m looking to see if we can drop our costs by up to £20 and the more Scouts we have, the easier this becomes!
Many thanks all,
Paul Fitchett

Scouts Water Weekend Camp Photos
May 18th, 2009 posted by Simon
24 of our Scouts from 3HH joined up with nearly 200 others from across the Richmond Upon Thames District to enjoy an action packed programme. This year’s Water Weekend camp surpassed even last year’s brilliance.
While the weather was very changable with some strong wind and heavy showers, 3HH were more than up for it! Kayaking, dragon boat racing, sailing, raft building and rowing kept them all very busy. The weekend was topped off with a monster camp fire on the Saturday evening. Fantastic.
