Tag Rugby - Group Event 15th May 2011
Two of 15th scout leaders; Paul and Rob organised the Bromley District Tag Rugby Tournament.  The 15th entered teams for all 4 leagues.  One for the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers / Leaders. Throughout the day, all teams competed against other groups.  It was a exciting day with families and leaders cheering on their children, celebrating with ice-creams, burgers and hot-dogs, before jumping around on the bouncy castles.

The Beavers made it to the finals in their first competitive event. 

The Cubs, who actually won the trophy last year, made it to the semi-finals

The Scouts made it the final and won against the 14th.

The leaders won 2 of their 4 games, and despite numerous injuries had a really enjoyable day.

Photos of this event for each section can be found in each respective section on the website.

St. George's Day Parade - 01/05/2011
It was that time again where the group came together once more with all the other groups in Bromley to celebrate
St. George's Day!
As next year will see all groups in the borough of Bromley attending (not just Bromley), the current and traditional venue will not be used as its too small to host the new parade.
This was the last time the group would march into Bromley.  Pictures now available.  Just click on the picture>>>>
   

 
 
Annual General Meeting
What's the AGM?  We hear some people ask.  Well the AGM is an open forum for the group to discuss the group's objectives and future activities.  It's also a time to go over the group finances and accounts and to appoint the chair and relevant members of the group committee.

Parents are more than welcome to attend this meeting.   It's a great opportunity to see some of the behind the scenes "business" functions of the group that needs to be in place for the group to run and perform smoothly.  In a lot of ways the group is like a public business, and this is one of the meetings we need to hold to inform all those people who are interested in the running of the group.
