WINGS
For our Summer camp almost 60 Scouts, Explorers and leaders will be attending the Windsor International Guide and Scout camp - that's WINGS 2009 for short. There will be a lot to tell you about so we've moved all the information onto its own page.

Kip on a ship: 19 September
We have the opportunity to sleep on HMS Belfast which is moored on the Thames near Tower Bridge in London. More information about this trip is now available. If you'd like more of an idea of what it is like to sleep on HMS Belfast take a look at the pictures from when the Cubs visited in February 2008. If you would like to take part you must register by Monday 20 July.

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.

I hope you all had a great Easter and did the Easter Bunny proud!
As I look back upon last term it had some ups and downs, it was good to see so many Cubs stick with their Scouting life as they moved into Scouts, but it was also a term when we said goodbye to over 10 young people who moved on into Explorers with Olympians here at 2nd Bracknell. Still no time to dwell too much on last terms moves, as we now have this terms moves to look forward to. We have two new Scouts joining us and three moving into Scouts from Cubs and the leaders here wish all of them well in their new chapters with Scouts.
Summer term is always a good term as we get to do more things outdoors and its the term when we have out main camp of the year and what a memorable one it should be this time around. Planning for the yearly "Back to Basics" camp is well under way and for those of you wanting to achieve an Outdoor or Outdoor Plus award this is the camp to be on. It was also very exciting to see the final preparations starting for our attendance at WINGS 2009, where 59 2nd Bracknell Scouts, Explorers and Leaders will not only attend, but also play host to Scouts from another group out of Ontario Canada. As we start completing the final local planning for Wings 2009 I need to put out a plea to any parents who will have space in their car to help transport the Canadian Scouts from the Scout Hut to Camp in Windsor. If you think you will have a space or two space, please would you contact via cw@2ndbracknell.co.uk. Additionally one of our Scout Parents is organising the HoHo (home hospitality) for these Scouts for the week after camp. If you think you would be able to provide sleeping accommodation for a couple of members of the Group, or perhaps one of their leaders, at your home from 8th August then do let me know and I will put you in touch with the organiser in this area.
Looking forward to seeing you all this term.
