Preparations are in full swing for the 1st Egham (United Church of Egham) Scout Group stall at the Magna Carta Day fair in Egham High Street on Saturday 14th June 2014. A wide selection of hand made cakes and sweets will be available for purchase from members of the 1st Egham Beaver colony and Cub pack.
We remain optimistic for good weather, given the drenching we got at the Egham Christmas Fair!
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!)
But that doesn’t mean we’ve not been busy!
Firstly, we’ve been drying out from the Egham Christmas Fair, which was a great day for fund-raising and raising the profile of our group within the local community, We raised over £200 from all the cakes, sweets and goodies we had.
In addition to this, our Cub pack has been growing in numbers with new starters and several of our Beavers moving up, whilst our Beaver pack goes from strength to strength.

PLEASE CONFIRM TO AKELA WHETHER YOUR CUB WILL BE ATTENDING
BY FRIDAY 29TH NOVEMBER
On Sunday 17th November, 13 Beavers from the 1st Egham colony attended the Emergency Aid (stages 1 & 2) day at 1st/4th Addlestones Scout HQ. A great day of administering first aid, learning about hazards and treating wounds was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
As the colony with the most participants there on the day, it was a fabulous showing for 1st Egham and it was wonderful to see such enthusiasm from our Beaver Colony. Many thanks to Kanga (our leader) and Akela (from 1st Egham Cubs) for running the bacteria and wound dressing station (and ending the day covered in glitter). Many thanks to all who made the day happen, and here’s hoping for plenty more.
Below are the details of the remaining activities that we have in the schedule for our Cubs through to the Christmas holidays – we’ll post more details here as they should come up!

It’s that time of year again when Cub packs from across Runnymede convene for their night hike.
This year, we’ll be convening at The Victoria Pub, 427 Woodham Lane, Woodham, Surrey, KT15 3QE.
1st Egham will be setting off from here at 7pm prompt.
We anticipate the hike lasting approximately 2 hours – but please note that this is an estimate, as we’re as fast as the slowest Cub!
Please ensure your child has the following on (or with) them:
Dear Parent,
I am writing to you to inform you that Karen Robson, the 1st Egham Beaver Scout Leader, has announced she would like to take a sabbatical from Scouting, with immediate effect.
Whilst Karen takes some time out, we do not want our Beaver Colony to suffer. To that end, Michaela Keferova (one of our Assistant Cub Scout Leaders), has volunteered to step in as interim Beaver Scout Leader. Whilst Michaela takes the reins, the District Leadership team will do what they can to support her, but can only do so temporarily since they have their own colonies to run. I would, therefore, be most appreciative if any parents who are able to offer any assistance each week, contact our Acting Group Scout Leader (Andy Sainsbury-Brown).
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours in Scouting
John Neale
Chairman, 1st Egham (United Church of Egham) Scout Group
Owing to unforeseen circumstances, it’s not going to be possible to have the planned sleep over as planned this Friday: But despair not, we’ll still be meeting as normal for an end of term meeting in the Church Hall. Meet at 7pm as per normal!
A sun drenched two day camp in the glorious surroundings of Bentley Copse camp site was home to 19 of the 1st Egham (United Church of Egham) Scout group in late June. Joined by 10 of our Beaver colony, there … Continue reading
