Scouts Newsletter – July to September 2022
Unless it says differently below all Troop Nights start at the Scout Hut at 7.00pm and finish at the Scout Hut at 9.00pm. The Scout Hut will be open from 6.45pm and Scouts should arrive by 6.55pm.
Scouts should always dress appropriately for the weather. Activities may be held outdoors even if it is wet.
On some nights during the summer holidays Scouts do not have to wear Scout uniform. Instead of uniform Scouts can wear ‘Group Blues’. If wearing ‘Group Blues’ Scouts should wear a blue 1st Bedworth t-shirt or hoodie together with whatever other clothing is appropriate for the weather
and activity.
Transport
On some meeting nights we are not meeting at the Scout Hut but at other locations such as Scout campsites. On these nights parents/carers are asked to arrange to drop off and pick up Scouts from these locations as we cannot provide transport.
We encourage car sharing among parents and carers. If you are able to offer a lift to another Scout please let us know by emailing your contact details to [email protected] at least the week before the activity. If you need help with transport please let us know by emailing your contact details to [email protected]. We will do our best to match up offers with needs and put you in touch with each other to make your own arrangements.
Absence
Many Scout Groups do not meet during the summer school holidays, but at 1st Bedworth we do our best to run a full programme for our members. Please assist the leadership team by always letting us know if Scout is unable to attend a meeting night. This is just as important during the school holidays.
Please give as much notice as possible, but always try to at least let us know before the start of the Troop Night. Please let us know by emailing [email protected] or texting 07710113291.

Nuneaton District Scouts are organising an international experience for Scouts and Explorers to Normandy, France, running from May 28th to June 3rd, 2023. The trip will be over 7 days / 6 nights.
Operation Overlord was the codename for the Battle of Normandy, the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings.
A haven of rugged coastlines, maritime towns and historic treasures, a trip to Normandy encapsulates everything that is special about rural France. Known for its history, the region’s long sweep of beaches and pastoral villages make it even more endearing. Get to grips with the local lingo amongst the lively shops and enjoy a taste of life ‘à la française’. You will be able to pick up some new vocabulary at a traditional market, then soak up Normandy’s D-Day history and walk in the footsteps of heroes.
And if that was not enough, we will have a full day in Disney Land Paris.
The Cost is confirmed at £615, with a non-returnable deposit of £150 to hold your place.
We will then invite members to a briefing where we will then outline the trip in full.
