Dear Parents and Children
The past few months have been busy for the members of 3rd St Budeaux with the arrival of our new Scout Leader Keith Weeks and an increase in numbers of children in the Group. We held a successful Sleepover in August and the Scouts enjoyed a visit to the County Camp at Woodlands. This month the Beavers and Cubs have enjoyed visits to Crownhill Police Station and Camel’s Head Fire Station. Scouts have also visited the Fire Station as part of their badge work.
We must also congratulate Stephen and Desmond who will shortly be awarded their Gold Chief Scout Awards(Click Here for Photo's). Jamie B in the Beavers has also gained his Bronze Chief Scout Award and we hope that others will achieve the same in due course.
FORTHCOMING EVENTS
An important date for your calendar is the Remembrance Day Service. The service this year is on Sunday, 14th November at St Philip’s Church. Please can children be at the Church Hall by 10 a.m. in uniform in order that parade to the church for the service which commences at 10.30 a.m. Please return the tear-off slip below to indicate if your child is able to attend.
There are a number of District Events that Beavers and Cubs and take part in during the next couple of months and practice is also underway for the 2011 Gang Show. Letters will be sent out separate for Beaver and Cubs events. Please speak to Keith if your child is interested in joining in with the Gang Show.

As you know
It’s proposed that we, as a troop with the aid and assistance of all parents of the members of the group, hold a week-end of repairs to the building in the first week of August. This is the 1st and 2nd of August. A large amount of building materials are already 'in situ' due to a generous donation of £100 given to the troop with express wish it to be used for the campsite. Unfortunately, without the help of parents and carers, our troop will be unable to use the campsite for week-end camps and we face the possibility of not having the campsite at all.
This would be a shame as every troop member benefits in their own individual way from the woodland and open fields to use and explore. This aids them in various Badges, e.g. backwoods camping, cooking and nature ,Observation/environment friendly badges
Ian both urge you to please to help us to continue the scouting activities that can be done at the site, it allows a strong basis should your children wish to participate in the duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme when aged 14 years old, and to appreciate such natural beauty so close to the city of Plymouth.
Many Thanks
Ian Burdett (G.S.L)
