What is fellowship?
Essentially Fellowships are groups of adults who wish in some way to provide 'active support' to local Scouting. Fellowships can be made up of men and women of all ages, interests and backgrounds, whether or not they have been involved with Scouting or Guiding before. They can operate at local, national and international levels, but are most often connected to a District or County. In our case the fellowship is connected to our group.
All members of Scout Fellowship are there because they wish to give some of their time to Scouting - this can be as much or as little as they like, in a wide variety of activities. Each Fellowship also has their own social and activity programme. The aim of the Scout Fellowship is to "Provide Active Support", with the emphasis being very much on practical support of the youth programme at all levels of the Association.

How does it work at 2nd Bracknell?
Fellowship supports the Group Exec and the group itself. By giving our Explorer scouts somewhere to go when they become 18 it means that we have a good mix of ages. The main aim is to have fun. Anyone can join - mums, dads, old friends, new friends, friends of friends as long as they are 18 and over.

Is there anything to pay?
To be a member of the Scout Association you must pay capitation - this is the fee that is paid to headquarters, the District and the County. This means that the Fellowship Subs are £30 for a year.

What do I wear?
In addition to a 2nd Bracknell red scarf we have polo shirts which cost £10.

What events are planned?
There are a few events coming up:

13 March - Quiz night at Warfield School, 7pm
14 March - day on the ‘Rose of Hungerford’, based at Hungerford. The boat will leave Hungerford at 10.30am, heading eastwards to Kintbury, arriving there at about 12.30pm. The options there are to have something to eat and drink in the Dundas Arms, or for people to take a picnic. The boat will leave Kintbury at 2.00pm, arriving back at Hungerford at about 4.00pm. The cost of the trip will be £5.00 per adult (if a 2nd Bracknell Fellowship member) or £10.00 per adult if not a 2nd Bracknell Fellowship member. The cost per child (under 18) will be £2.50. The maximum number of people who can go on this trip is 50. More information and the reply slip is available on our booking form. A limited number of places are available in the minibus - £3 return - contact Steve Richards.
9-11 April - canal weekend
24 April, skittles match against the District Fellowship, Jack of Newbury

Hopefully as membership increases we can run different events i.e. family walk and picnic, car treasure hunt etc. All suggestions gratefully received and eventually we would then expect some events that have a cost element to be a slightly reduced rate for Fellowship members to encourage people to sign up.

Who is in charge?
We now have some new contacts:

Chairman – Alex Richards*
Vice-Chairman – Lesley Ferrington*
Treasurer/Membership Secretary – Allan Coles*
