Awards Galore
At the Presentation Evening and District Winter Social at the Halsemere Museum on 5th December the County Commissioner presented no fewer than 4 Queen Scout Awards, 5 D of E Gold Awards, 1 Award of Merit, 3 Chief Scout's Commendations and 2 Service Awards and a Woodbadge. What a lot and what a lot of fun, hard work, dedication and commitment they all represent.
Here we have the Gold D of E and Queen Scout Award receipients with our guests:
The leaders with all their awards and Malanie Odell, the Deputy Town Mayor saying a few words
I wonder who will be next to achieve? - Watch this space!
A Fond Farewell at Fernhurst
I recently and reluctantly helped 1st Fernhurst Cub Pack say "Goodbye" to two of it's leaders, Liz Codd and Sam Madge. They will be missed (and will they miss the pack too - who knows?)
However, while I was there I did manage to help present a few badges too!
All smiles!
1st Churt Investitures
On a very damp 3rd of November I ventured out in wildest Churt to find I was not only visiting a combined meeting of 1st Churt Beaver Colony and Cub Pack but I was also carrying out the investiture of five new Cub Scouts.
I was pleased to see so many new young people so enthusiastically taking part. I think 1st Churt is going places!
The Muir Trophy
Judy and I ran a base for the District Cub Scout Muir Trophy on Sunday, 12th October which was superbly hosted by 1st Fernhurst and organised by Chris Lloyd of 1st Fernhurst and Richard Knight of 1st Churt. Well done to them and everyone they enlisted to help.
The results were as follows:
In 3rd place was a team from 1st Churt
In 2nd place was a team from 1st Churt (I can't remember which was which)
In 1st Place was the team from 1st Haslemere - the Haslemere Tigers - well done indeed. They were presented with the trophy by Helen, the ADC(Cub Scouts). Hopefully we'll have a picture to include soon.
From where I was standing, everyone who took part really enjoyed themselves, including all those responsible adults! So much so, that there are already rumours that plans are afoot to run it again next year.
Presentations at 1st Hindhead
I had the great pleasure in investing 6 Cub Scouts into the 1st Hindead Pack on 6th October. I think everyone's parents were there to see it and to hear me talk about the need to find someone in the community to help the Pack continue it's great work with the youngsters in 2009.

I was back at 1st Hindhead on the 10th October to present Peter Prociuk with his well deserved Scout Wood Badge at the beginning of their regular Troop Meeting.
They were busy getting ready for their camp. I hope it went well, everyone.
