Our party has safely returned from their adventure in Austria, tired, weary but with memories that will last a lifetime. I am looking forward to speaking to our Scouts, Explorers and Leaders and hearing all about their great adventure. Over the last week I have been following the feedback from Austria with growing pride and admiration. Our party had a great time, threw themselves into the activities and gave one hundred percent effort and enthusiasm. Their conduct was a credit to 1st Bedworth and to Scouting in general, parents and carers you can be truly proud of your youngsters.
I cannot praise Ryan and his team highly enough, they did a magnificent job. As someone who has had the privilege to lead and co-lead a number of international trips I appreciate the amount of work that is involved in delivering a successful experience. I am proud to have leaders of such calibre and dedication as members of the 1st Bedworth team. I am confident that the future of the Group in in safe and secure hands as the new generation of young adults at 1st Bedworth  take the Group onto even greater events and experiences than ever before

We are really proud of Ben, Hollie, Nicole & Ryan  our 'Brains of Beduff' who last night lifted the Trophy at the Nuneaton District Scout Annual Quiz. There was stiff competition from several other Troops from Nuneaton, Bedworth & Bulkington but our quartet were triumphant on the night in a closely fought contest.  "This is the first time in my memory that we have won this trophy" commented Woody, our Group Scout Leader. Woody has been around a long time so it must be many years since we last won ! . The team was a joint effort between Haddon (Girls Troop) & Wilson (Lads Troop)  who for one night put aside their normal boy/girl rivalry to prove that they can be a formidable combination.

We are very proud of our members who attended Remembrance Parade this year.  Despite indifferent weather over 120 members of 1st Bedworth were smartly turned out on Parade. We were lucky that the rain stayed away during the parade. We would like to thank the Bedworth Branch of the Royal British Legion for allowing us the privilege of being allowed to parade, The Reverend Richard Hare for an excellent thought provoking and entertaining service and the ladies of the catering team for the brilliant buffet afterwards.

Scouts from Wilson & Haddon Troops raised a total of £720 which they presented to representatives from Dogs For The Disabled at their Annual Presentation Night on Saturday 3rd October.
In June the Scouts who were working on their Community Challenge Award invited Teresa Fletcher to come along to their Troop Nights. Teresa told them about the excellent work that Dogs For The Disabled does for people with additional needs. Teresa brought along her daughter Bethany and Quartz her Assistance Dog. Teresa explained how Dogs For The Disabled train assistance dogs to support people in their homes and in the community and how the Assistance Dog services support children and adults with physical disabilities and families with a child affected by autism. Teresa also told the Scouts that Dogs For the Disabled rely on voluntary contributions from the general public.
The Scouts thoroughly enjoyed Teresa’s talks and were determined to raise some funds to help the cause. Each Patrol in the two Troops decided they would to raise £20 to support the cause. They immediately set about organising a number of activities including sponsored walks, jogs and abseils. The Patrols raised a total of £332 with these activities. This was far more than the £200 target they had set themselves.
