In December 1st Egham rounded off the year with a number of festive activities. From Fundraising, to Food Bank Shopping and treading the boards in the annual outdoor Nativity to Backwoods cooking for Scouts and Cubs, below are some images! Wishing all sections, our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Leaders, parents and helpers a wonderful Christmas and happy and healthy 2022!
It was great to take part in the Magna Carta Day fair which returned on Saturday 26th June 2021. The group had our usual pitch outside Timpson’s on the High Street (our thanks as ever to the Timpson’s staff for being great ‘neighbours’ for the day). This year, rather than sell edible fare, we opted to share some of our favourite Scout hikes and walks in Runnymede. Grateful thanks to all those who donated on the day and picked up booklets.
You can find a copy below. The file is ready for double sided printing (flip on short edge) then collate and fold and the pages will ‘magically’ be in the right order with the text aligning alongside each map! Please note disclaimers, enjoy and remember, in the great words of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate
clothing!”
It’s time to start collecting again!
Last year, you managed to collect 5,874 vouchers, which was superb, but this year, we want EVEN MORE!
So, please tell your friends, neighbours, relatives and colleagues to collect the vouchers and then put them in the collecting box in the Church. (Please make sure it’s the one marked “1st Egham” – there’s more than 1 in the Church!)
Just a very quick update to say an enormous thank you to the friends and family of 1st Egham in collecting a fantastic
The leaders are reviewing the catalogue of goods that are available and we’ll make some early decisions about what we get – any surplus will then be banked for next year!
An enormous thank you to everyone supporting 1st Egham – it makes all the difference.
The latest count has revealed that we’ve so far collected an amazing
2,962 Active Kids Vouchers
With just 3 weeks to go, this is a phenomenal achievement and we’d ask that you keep up the fantastic work – when the scheme finishes, we’ll then publish the grand total, and see what we can purchase for 1st Egham to use and enjoy!
After only a couple of weeks, you’ve already collected and donated 1,000 Active Points vouchers, which is FABULOUS.
We’re still a little way off getting the equipment we so desperately want, so please keep collecting – and don’t forget to ask friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.
And remember …
more vouchers = more equipment

more equipment = more fun
