NEW:New oak marks scout
centenary |
|
A YOUNG oak tree was planted in a recreation
ground in Beckenham to help mark the centenary of
the scouting movement.
The Beckenham District Cub Scouts got their
hands dirty and helped plant the sapling in
Croydon Road Recreation Ground in Beckenham, on
March 14.
Youngsters were joined by the Mayor of
Bromley’s consort, Martyn (corr) Reddin to
celebrate 100 years of scouting.
Scout leader Stephen Tickner said: “This was
part of a series of events that have taken place
over the previous twelve months to mark an event
that happened a little over a 100 years ago when
Robert Baden-Powell took a small group of boys
camping.
“I think it’s brilliant that the Beckenham
District Cub Scouts were able to work with Bromley Council and plant a tree
in our local park.”

COUNTY USA

3rd -
5th July
In the summer GLSE will be hosting
“Camp America”. Venue to be finalized but this
will be a weekend packed with action for all age
groups. You will arrive at JFK Airport, go through
passport control and collect ballot papers for
Presidential Elections. Then into the Camp to find
a theme park to celebrate Independence Day,
American style.
There will be fantastic
adventures to be had right from 100 Acre Wood for
the Beavers, through to many many activities for
Cubs, Scouts, Explorers & Networkers. Evening
Entertainment will include the biggest wide game
we can provide, High Street Musical and Las Vegas
for Networkers.
Highlights will include
the BBQ on Saturday evening, Presidential
Elections running throughout the weekend and the 8
activity areas. Come fly a plane, surf in Hawaii,
meet Elvis in Memphis, Race at Daytona, Meet your
favourite Characters in Florida and Ride on Quad
Bikes. Fancy singing, dancing – then go to
Hollywood or perhaps you prefer the F1 racing,
whatever your idea of fun we will have it.
