New District Commissioner
We have been conducting a search for a new District
Commissioner for South East Berkshire.
We can now announce that Ann Minchin (currently at 4th
Bracknell) has agreed to take on the role, with effect from
the District AGM on 23rd June. Also, our very own Steve
Prower has agreed to take on the role of Deputy District
Commissioner (in addition to being our Group Scout Leader).
Together, Ann and Steve will lead the development of the
District in the next phase for Scouting in South East
Berkshire.
Of course we can't let the moment pass without thanking
Carolyne Brambley for all she has done for South East Berks
since she became District Commissioner nine years ago. As
2nd Bracknell's former parent and then Beaver leader she has
always been a friend to the group and we wish her well for
the future.
District parent & child camp: 18-20
September
South and South East Berkshire
Districts come together for the annual parent and child camp
at Earleywood in September. This year the theme is "enviro
camp". The costs will be £9 per head plus food costs which
will be known nearer the date. Places are limited to 300
campers across both districts so we need to reserve our
places as soon as possible. To reserve your place please
e-mail CW with the names of the campers that would like to
take part. A £4 deposit will be required when places are
confirmed. Should you need to borrow a tent we hope that the
group will be able to help you out.
Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell's membership of the "buy.at" network
has earned the group over £250 so far. We earn commission on things you buy online if you go
through our online shop at
http://buy.at/2ndbracknell.
For more information please visit our
shopping page. It is painless fundraising and if we can
raise our funds this way we won't have to keep asking you
for money.
   
    
Don't forget to see if there are any special voucher codes
that you can use when you are shopping online. See
our shopping page for more
information.
Barry's bus
Barry Smith was Akela at 2nd Bracknell for over 30
years. You can see our
tribute
to him online. When he died in 2005 he left the group some money. We
have decided that we would use this money to buy a minibus.
Barry's programme was always full of trips out with small
groups to the seaside and museums so we think he'd approve.
If our group isn't already using
it we are happy to hire our minibus to other local Scout or
Guide groups. For more information please complete our
enquiry form.
Thanks to around 75% of the group that have registered their
Subs payments for Gift Aid we claimed £1146 in 2007. That's
the equivalent of 2 Christmas Fairs, 5 sponsored walks
or 10 jumble sales. It's easy money for us so if you haven't
registered for Gift Aid - or would like to check whether
you have or not, please see the Gift Aid e-note or contact our
Treasurer.
Join Us
We are always
pleased
to receive offers of adult support - whether
on a regular or occasional basis. If you would like to help
please contact your leaders or see our "Join
Us" page. You can get involved at whatever level
you want - from one night a term to becoming a uniformed
leader and helping every week. We also have vacancies behind
the scenes on our Group Executive Committee.
Group
T-Shirts
We have blue 2nd Bracknell t-shirts that you can wear
instead of your uniform in the summer term. New stock is now
available with children's sizes up to age 12-13 and a range
of adult sizes from S to XL. T-shirts are just £6 and are
available from your leaders.
Getting
in touch
We've made it easier for you to remember the e-mail
addresses of the leaders. We hope that the
2ndbracknell.co.uk web address is straightforward and easy
to remember. You can e-mail the leaders @
2ndbracknell.co.uk rather than having to remember their
complicated addresses. If you can't remember the correct
address you can go to our Contact
us page and send us a message via our
enquiry form.
Blue 2nd Bracknell
Group T-Shirts may be worn as uniform (with your scarf).
They cost £6 and are available
from your leaders.
